What Is It?

It is a Frisbee? Is it a landmine? Is it a creature from the deep? Is it the latest George Foreman grill? Good guesses all. But, for your viewing enjoyment, we bring you the Honeywell runway centerline light.

If you have never seen one up close, well, now you have.

As Arnold Schwarzenegger said in the movie True Lies, “Is it a water heater? A snow cone machine? No, it’s an Espresso maker.”

Macho Men & Their Flying Machines.

This little gem just slid across our desk direct from the Way Back Machine (before color was invented). The dude is a friend of our site, Mr. John Flores. He has since grown up and now works on U-2’s.

As The Song Says, “One Thing Leads To Another.”

Yes, not only are The Fixx a good band, but they were also quite prophetic (at least for us). You see, before you can get Totally Jacked Up Airport Photos, you must first procure a Totally Jacked Up Aircraft Photo of your ride.

Get Aroused With Totally Jacked Up Aircraft Photos.

If we did not know where this came from (and unfortunately we do), we'd have thought this a painting of mechanical impressionism. Notice not only the subject matter (an Alaska Boeing 737-800 for the aeronautically impaired), but also the composition, the lighting, and best of all, the seductive visual texture.

Now that is Totally Jacked Up Aircraft Photo erotica.

Go Nostalgic At Totally Jacked Up Aircraft Photos.

“Some things are best left unsolved.”

“Hey, You Working?”

It is generally agreed that “Working Girls” ply their trade under the cover of darkness. The same is true of the hardworking “Freight Dogs” the world over.

Why Smokey The Bear Warned Us.

What you see here are not only a couple of Totally Jacked Up Aircraft Photos (of which we are most proud), but also what has now become an all too common sight (of which none of us are proud) - The Southern California firestorm. The smoke actually blacked out the sun and rained ash for a couple of hours.

Pablo Picasso Would Be Proud.

Take a beautiful subject (a CRJ in this case), add a dash of eclecticism, and viola (as the French say)! Pure aviation art.

Or, it could just have been a case of airport ghosts (if you believe in that sort of thing). Only our ace, roving photographer knows for sure.
