Willow Run Bomber Plant tour videos 6/14/2018

Fri, 15 Jun 2018 03:29:46 GMT

Huron Valley AIA Tour. June 14 2018.
Ford's B-24 Liberator plant, Willow Run Airport, Ypsilanti Michigan.
Originally 4 million square feet. 97% has been demolished, but the remaining 3% will be the new site of the Yankee Air Museum, with 4 times the floor-space of the current museum. 8000+ B-24 Liberators were made here. Only 4 of the B-24s made here still exist today. Plant was constructed from 1940 to 1942.
Production began summer 1941 (June 16), components only.
By October 1941 Ford was producing complete Liberators.
Production went through May 1945.
By the end, B-24 bombers were being turned out at a rate of 1 per hour.
There was a chain drive that towed the plane through the assembly line.
At the end, they'd be weighed on a scale and then the 42-ton final door
would be raised and they've be driven under their own power to the flight
test hanger (which is where the current day Yankee Air Museum's
flyable planes are now stored).

Desert Bus VR

Sun, 01 Apr 2018 13:09:49 GMT

I will be running the Steam remake of the infamous Penn & Teller video game DESERT BUS (DESERT BUS VR) all day today.
If you want to get on the bus as a passenger, befriend me on Steam (Planettom), load the DESERT BUS VR program (It's free!)
http://store.steampowered.com/app/638110/Desert_Bus_VR/ (Windows only, sorry)
Right click on me on your Steam friend's list, and JOIN GAME.
Despite the name, you do not need a VR headset to run Desert Bus VR.
Is this an April Fool's joke? Well, yes and no, I am doing it as an April Fool's joke,
but I am really doing it and you can really get on the bus as a virtual passenger.
Perhaps you do not know the story of Desert Bus.
You can read about it here on Wikipedia.

Restoring "The Rock" to Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater.

Wed, 20 Sep 2017 17:29:21 GMT

As a kid in the 1970s, I had the Parker Brothers board-game Masterpiece, where you bid at an art auction on paintings that might turn out to be real or forgeries.

All the paintings were from the Art Institute of Chicago.

One unusual one was Peter Blume's (Wikipedia) 1948 painting "The Rock" (Art Institute of Chicago).
