As they say in Fritz's neighborhood - B742 climbing off SeaTac.  |

Love both the 747 and TWA. I remember watching them when they first came out flying into JFK. Even that far out, they were low enough so one could see their massive size. When I first saw one in Hangar 12 (JFK) it was unbelievable.

Yes, that shade of red is striking.

Actually, both ways are correct. I was just breaking your balls. |

Actually, both ways are correct. I was just breaking your balls. Interesting. At first glance I wasn't sure what the grammatical infraction was but on closer inspection both "des" and "du" can be used depending on the writer's intention of having "ceil" used in the singular or plural. So, Google is OK! BTW, another point of interpretation is that in a sentence, if "ceil" is upper cased then this would follow the rule for a proper name and the reference would not be an airplane but instead would be the Madonna. Again, Google is OK. |

Impressive explanation. My scholarly days are in the mists. As a wee Scottish secondary student I had German (thought we were gonna lose) French (we've always felt rapprochement - don't know why) and Latin (helpful if you're of the Catholic persuasion). Three years of languages - did absolutely nothing for me in later life. I also had MEN's singing (we didn't get to sing with the girls - nothing less interesting than boys singing together) - still can't carry a tune and yet that education has been the backbone of my life so far.
