Delta is like the greyhound of flying! Southwest used to be, but Delta takes the cake!
I book my flights across American, Delta, United, US Airways, and Southwest most of the time for work. Southwest is fun granted it's a shorter flight (they hustle out a beverage service even on the shortest of flights, plus more drink options), American is so/so in my book (the recent strike pissed me off during my flying), dislike Delta. Lately I have enjoyed US Airways the most.
Here is my job. I drive these beasts while towing a pig of a barge that holds about 3-3.5 million gallons of petroleum products such as gasoline, diesel fuels, Avgas, and Jet A50. These pics were from 2011 Arctic Circle summer season. We have to fuel villages for their full years supply of fuel in the 3 months that the weather actually cooperates and their is no ice or serious storms. Sometimes the storms roll in and fawq a village for the fuel they need to survive. Which happened to my very boat a year ago and Nome had to have an emergency fuel delivery from a Russian nuke ice breaker!
Swapping this boat's barge and crew for ours in the Bering Sea. Behind them is a up hill landing strip and CIA listening station that is from the cold war era, now non operational. Yeah, right?! There sure is a lot of planes we see landing there for being decommissioned!

Badass, i've actually worked with similar things while in School. But more dynamic loading, impact loading. I'm not calling you Ironman until it flies and shoots missiles!
Not sure if it's the same Cameron but are the machining centers in your shop floor painted green? We had a project for Cameron Engineering and the machines were green.
What 3D software is that on your monitor? I'm using SolidWorks here at work.
I'm working on the flying part and missiles... Guess what I was for Halloween...?
No pictures allowed at my work, but I am a military field service rep for GE Aviation on the F108 engine at Tinker AFB. This engine is used on the KC-135R tanker aircraft. It is also used commercially and is captured in Mongooses photo
Below is the civilian equivalent of the military engine for which I work.

Hands down, Virgin America is the best airline to fly. They make it feel like you aren't on an airplane. I take Virgin any chance I get. I also don't mind Jet Blue, their prices are pretty good.

I flew Virgin once, It was very..... cosmic. LOL! I felt I was just some E or shrooms away from a very good journey. HAHA!
I was raised an airline brat as my dad has worked for Alaska Airlines for 42 years now. Ive always enjoyed flying Alaska the most. I love Boeing's 737 800 and 900 model aircraft AK uses. Service has always been great for me and a lot of the flight attendants who have been there 30+ years still recognize me from when i was a kid flying with my dad.
