Title: This is my new office
Post by: eric lipper on March 24, 2020, 09:26:48 PM
Last week I had a corner office with a view of my aircraft charter business.  Today I am back to practicing law again out of my garage because the Coronavirus has stopped aviation.  With this as my office the news is not all bad.

Actually there's allot of Ferrari stuff in that garage.  Maybe it's only purgatory your in.  Get rid of that Ferrari stuff and you are on your way to the promise land  ;D

JK..... awesome slice of heaven you have there.

The real cars are Shelby and Ford GT in the picture while the paraphernalia is Ferrari.  Maybe it's a way to torment old Enzo.

Even attorneys hate attorneys.  They're arrogant, conceited, nasty, rude, aggressive...
I try to keep a little distance from attorneys when not in a legal mode.  Social distancing can be a beautiful thing.

Pretty cool chair.   ;D

I watched Ford v. Ferrari again last night.  Considering there aren't two actors I despise more than Ben Affleck and Mat Damon, the latter did an amazing job of acting and sounding like 'ol Shell.  Physically, he is way off the mark, but he more than made up for it with this acting talent.  I just wish they would make another movie, but this time concentrate on how the Cobra and GT350 came to be..

That chair is the seat out of my 1999 Ferrari 355 which I turned into a track car.  Figured it made a good desk chair.

That looks like a pretty complicated thing to fly with all those controls.

Awesome (in the true meaning of the word) photo!

What aircraft is that?
Title: Re: This is my new office
Post by: The Going Thing on March 26, 2020, 02:49:01 AM
That is the  Boeing 777-300. American spent 320,000,000.00 a copy on them. One of the best aircraft I have ever flown.

Carroll Shelby was a flight instructor as well. I am sure he would have been amazed at the modern flight deck.  It still isn't equipped with a coffee maker and my last trip the FA dumped coffee on me just because of a little bump. Tisk, Tisk.. :D

Here are a couple of more shots.  The plane was on display at the Lone Star Museum of Flight for a while here in Houston but sitting was aging her faster than use.

No. The 73-Max is.  There is nothing a matter with it. I am rated on the 738 as well. 24 in our fleet and 27 in South West's fleet. Not one issue with thousands of hours on them. Not to start another thread with the question, Doug.

Eric: I was on staff at Chino Air Museum.  I love vintage aircraft, especially prop-driven early fighters.  Your Mod 17 is absolutely beautiful.

Nah! It's ok. I'm not looking to aggravate you on a probably touchy and uncomfortable situation. Leave it be.
