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.
This is one of the many types kept @LNA I've been lucky enough to fly. (I'm in right seat)
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.

"Houston, Tranquility base here. The Eagle has landed." Fortunately for Neil and Buzz their spacecraft was not constructed out of Lego.

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

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.

Lego is probably more robust than tinfoil
