...Said the queen, but it was already too late. She couldn't neither prevent the prohibition nor the exile.
Fortunately for Queen Skittles Lesser Mouseland remains a firm friend and Queen Diana offers the temporarily exiled Queen sanctuary until the crisis blows over.
In the meantime Jeff, disappointed and lost looks up and sees a shop he hadn't noticed before, it's called House of Treasures, looking in it looks filled with junk, a smiling, slightly chubby Kitsune is sitting behind the counter.

Subject to two royal personages, I am conflicted. Should I support @Skittles or @Simo? While I ponder this, I watch Jeff staring at a fjord.

Ponder???

Is it not clear you should follow The Emperor???

AAAAAAAAAAAAAA -Sukhoi, 2020
Progress!

This year in aviation history: American inventor Gustave Whitehead supposedly flies the Whitehead No. 21 - a powered proto-aeroplane with separate engines both for the wheels and the propellers. This design lacked a vertical stabilizer (or tail fin), but nevertheless was said to be controllable. This aircraft supposedly made a flight of 800m, at an altitude of 50 feet. If true, this would have made Whitehead the first to build and fly a powered and controlled heavier-than-air aircraft, predating the Wright brothers by two years.

I say "said to" in regards to controllability, because while photographs exist of Whitehead's machine, there are no pictures of it flying. A later analysis of Whitehead's design found that not only was the contraption sorely lacking in structural rigidity, it was aerodynamically unsound, casting a shadow over Whitehead's claims of flight. Later recreations with modern materials and higher power engines were barely able to lift Whitehead's plane off the ground at all. To this day, the veracity Whitehead's flights remain disputed.

At least someone loves me! :p

"Where can I get this damn record already?", he thought. He was almost giving up, while suddenly, he had an idea...


In the meantime, the owner of Skunk Beer Inc. Was getting tires after a long day of alcohol smuggl.... Lemonade selling of course.

Good night fellas ^^

Talking of aerodynamically unstable aircraft. The Shorts SB .3 was so unstable in the air and so eyeball scarringly ugly it was said that the air was recoiling in horror from it.

A room?
You get a wing!
:D

(Also goodnight @Thrashy)

No longer using this site
Meanwhile, Queen @Skittles is bothered by the denizens of Lesser Mouseland, whose interests lie in the cultivation of horses in Texas.

The beautiful duckling that flew beak first into the ugly tree... And was then routinely beaten with it.

Airplanes really don't lend well to modification. Here we have the 'Gonzo' (a modified Dash-8 used by the RCAF to train ACSOs), and the 'Catfish' (a modified 757 that was built to air test the F-22's avionics package).

While we're at it: This year in aviation history, Scott and Shackleton take the first aerial photos of Antarctica from a hydrogen balloon tethered to a maximum altitude of 800 feet. Also this year, the Wright brothers perfect their three-axis control system after many glider launches, leading into the development of the Wright Flyer. This system remains in use in some form or another to this day.

It appears the evening has passed and the night approaches. My friend Nexus and I wish all of you ladies and gentleman a good night.

I shall greet you all with fresh buttered crumpets on the morrow.

Sincerely, Sirocco~
