2024 - Severe Storms (T-Storms and Blizzards)

[SB Shock]

Today outlook. They have no confidence that storms will fire along the Dryline today. If they do they will be severe. Main action will be overnight in northern Kansas and Nebraska.

Day 2 outlook for Monday. It is a complex situation with many caveats. The good news is that the timing of various factors seems to be off for having a high-end event for Wichita (and much of Kansas).

Watch the dryline and its strength. If storms fire off it on Monday between 4 and 6 p.m., they could have monster hail. If storms fire in your area after midnight, the risk is high winds and small hail. Hopefully, we will get some measurable rain, but that is not even a given.

Dean Martin is one of my all time favorite entertainers. Never knew he was in Airport. I'd heard of it but never seen it. Doesn't seem to be streaming for free anywhere but I may just have to rent it on Prime this weekend

My dad was an airline executive and pilot so I grew up flying on every type of commuter plane known to man in the 70s. Very familiar, hahaha.

Still not sure how I don't recognize the movie but I will watch it. I watched Airplane maybe 100 times once it came on HBO or Skinemax. Weird!

Given that background, I am convinced you are going to enjoy the history behind this cinematic brilliance.

Ok…..

1) I’m old, I’m not that old.

2) You’re not that young.

3) There is no Airplane without Airport. Airplane is the spoof.

4) Airport is absolutely spectacular.

5) You have to watch with an eye on the past and how undeveloped society and air travel were in 1970. Don’t allow yourself to compare to present day the first time through…..admittedly easier said than done.

As a child, the insurance counters, insurance vending machines (Guerrero would have hammered that) open airports, ashtrays on the armrests……and watching the planes take off and land, after lunch delivered by train at Casey Jones Junction….did not get any better.

How do I not know of this movie? I'll look it up!

For our younger readers. Jacqueline Bisset.

SOOOOOO close.

Not Airplane. But the real version. Airport.

Dean Martin fooling a kid who noticed the plane had turned around. Nice and slow. Didn't want to alert Guerrero.

Fantastic movie. Only Dean Martin could almost thwart a bomber, pull a ruse with Helen Hayes, land a damaged 707 and all while banging Jaqueline Bisset, sipping on bourbon and firing up heaters one after the other.

Also George Kennedy's best work.

"Like it or not, she's gonna get it!"

God I love that movie.

Was the first of the "disaster movies"
