Participant[quote=deadzone]Well if you’re intested in skiing, gambling and white water rafting you might as well live in Reno area. Homes are much cheaper than Napa will ever be. [/quote]
I know a guy who bought a 2400 sf investment property in Reno … He paid something like 650k …

June 2, 2009 at 10:07 PM #409392Participant[quote=Allan from Fallbrook]FLU: My dad worked for Ford Aerospace in Palo Alto (now Loral or L3 or something) as an aerospace engineer and he used to do extensive testing at the wind tunnel at NASA’s ARC (Ames Research Center) facility next to NAS Moffett Field.
He took me there a couple of times for the “frozen chicken” testing with Boeing: They’d fire frozen chickens at the windscreen of a 747 cockpit and forward fuselage and see what damage resulted. It was supposed to simulate birds striking the plane at 600mph.
This would have been from 1977 to around 1982 (he moved into the Milsat/Intelsat/”Keyhole” satellite program after that).

Chickens are supposed to be thawed! Frozen chicken at 600 mph will go straight through the windscreen, the cabin door, and make holes in a few passenger seats before stopping.
