The Flight of the Saltire

[piperdbh]

Maybe she was hijacked and is being held for a king's ransom of shortbread.

I think you should send her out, again!! I would love to have the chance to sign yer log, and take a pic or two for the site!!

Also, Happy St. Andrews Day!! (this bein the 30th of Nov)

[Woot22]

Yeah, I am interested to know what happened to the Saltire as well. Did she get lost out west or something?

[BroosterB1]

Have no fear the Wee airship is safe and sound, the crew however were violently ill (most likely the Water) but are now well rested and fed.

Postings started under show us your pic's, perhaps a Mod could move here and the journey can continue.

Here is a teaser

Caption Panache steered the Saltaire feeling like he had been punched in the gut. Redirected over the Adriatic to help in search and rescue operations the Airship had flown thousands of miles trying to find fellow air captain and balloonist Richard Abuzzo to no avail. Lost at sea, not the way an aeronaut should depart this world. Damn shame, thought the Captain; and to add insult to the injury the search had caused the airship to miss completely the largest aeronautical assembly of lighter than aircraft in the world. Oh well, Rev. Byers insisted that New Mexican hospitality was second to none so perhaps a lay over would be good for the crew.

Touch down! What better way to celebrate the arrival of the wee air ship than a Scottish Wedding!

The bride is escorted by her father

Next stop a wedding with a Japanese flair



Unfortunate the photographer recruited mistook the video record for the still button so the next picture is after the ceremony.



Mr. Mrs J.D. Dame

You've got to get that little guy down to Roswell. He's probably missing his mother ship...

[BroosterB1]

Next stop the mountains of New Mexico;

A yong couple from back east decided to get married at the Jemez State Mounument; an old pueblo.

This is the Grand entry or hall



Where the wedding was to be



The wee airship is behind me.

The Bride, Groom and her dad

Later that same day flying over the Valles Caldera, one of the largest calderas in the Northern Hemisphere.

Destination Rancho De Chimayo (yummy northern New Mexican Food)



The Chilies in the fall



While St. Francis greets the Scottish Visitors



The entry to delights



Many, Many more shots to come, but I have to go shine my boots for tomorrow.

Next stop a zombie attack, James T Kirk, the Dine lands and Caption John Robin and the Ice Queen....
