No Mike.
If he can fly N49469 and he's around to talk about it. He can figure out how to open an account with a " photo hosting sight.

Oh, Paul... don't worry about what I said regarding N49469...

I think I know. I've only flown one 152 before that. The one at LNA was.... different.

Yes Sir, Since 86.

Well who'd have guessed. I hired the 152 from Palm Beach Flying Training N49469 and I did my IR at Sebastian- in the hangar next to where they make the Velocity.
If I could work out how to get images on here I'd post some.

Small, small world.

Yep. :) It was a fun build, and it looks nice displayed with my Lego Saturn V rocket. B-)

I was 12 at the time, living at RAF Watton. I had to stay up to see Neil Armstrong take that step, which was around 4 am here.

Brian, the service module on Apollo 13 was made of Lego. That’s what came out of the enquiry, if I remember correctly.
