Modern stuff doesn't grab me, especially anything from Scarebus.

Watched a Convair 440, DC-3, Caribou and Catalina depart Canberra yesterday - now that's more to my liking.

They should call GE... "GE test-flies the world's largest jet engine"

https://www.geaviation.com/press-rel...-goes-airborne

https://www.engadget.com/2018/03/18/...9x-jet-engine/

Engine is almost the same diameter as the body of a 737...
