Bwahaha, that is awesome! I AM THE WIFE and I absolutely approve of this. We have all those colors already on our house, I'll have a hard time convincing MY HUSBAND to go back up that ladder to change the positition of the lights for next year. Big A Frame house, 22 foot peak, and we only had a 20 foot extension ladder. Nothing a couple of our septic field straw bales, and the tailgate of our Super Duty couldn't help us reach. I've never seen a grown man so scared. I don't know if it was the ladder or him that was shaking worse, but after holding it for 8 hours, my arms felt like I'd been holding a jackhammer.
He says the lights are being sold attached to the house if we ever leave.

I love pilot nerds by the way.

You'll need a co-jo for this. Try shooting forced approaches into your driveway. Make sure there's no kids around, achieve best glide, (that's 80km/h in my GMC Acadia) Kill your engine (or use neutral if you're stick) at the end of the block, and prepare to add flaps (open your doors) before the turn.

That's nerdy.

Is it just me, or does this look a lot like the layout at Sioux Lookout (YXL)? :)

That set-up with the 104 is the funniest damn thing I've seen in ages!

Be careful putting Christmas lights up like that... the US Air Force might accidentally land in your yard instead of the airport 5nm away.
