    Sitting on the Sheltair ramp...88-01870...looks like this. Going to have to run home at lunch and grab my gear!

    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.

    Funny - there were 2 on the ramp at Dulles this afternoon, too. First 2 Shorts 330s I've seen.

    Noticed one on approach to LGA a couple of years ago. But haven't another one beyond that apart from a static display at Lakehurst back in 2001.

    I believe there are a few based in NJ, but I forget where.
