Cool pirate ship, complete with crow's nest.

You knew that person had money, just because they had three Mercury engines hanging off the back. Then, they had a custom wrap done.

It's a Midnight Express, appears to be the 34' model.  Looks to be at Ft. Lauderdale boat show.

Honestly, 

If I was gonna go the fast center console route from Miami to Cuba runs, I would do a 45' Nortech

But if it is not cutting through 3 foot chop, I prefer something a little more stealthy and berkeley ton cheaper.

This reminds me that I still want to A100 a minivan for some reason.

I hope he idles it for a while before he tries to drive it. That way the exhaust has time to melt the wire shielding before the drive shaft wraps it up. More exciting that way

That doesn't look like there's much room for my packages.

Our work emails have started showing our ID photos next to our names. I want to change mine and see how long it takes for someone to complain.

Miami to Cuba? My boat choice would be Grumman.

That's EXACTLY what I want!!!  How can I get one?

No picture, but I had a Pontiac engined car come in to be "completed" with the positive cable zip-tied to the exhaust manifold.

Anybody who has ever worked on a Pontiac-engined anything would understand why.

Maybe you need a slow boat instead...

That looks very different from the normal semi submurged narco subs.  Any more details?

Answering my own question there's a good article in WIRED from a few years ago here.

The Pitts reminded me that I flew a Pitts S2B once.  

And a Fouga Magister...

And a Piper Cub...

and a Piper Warrior...

And a 737-300...

And a BK-117.  

Not bad for a guy without a pilot's license!

! 

 

I"ve always loved the Fouga Magister, when I was a kid they were used by the French National Aerobatic team 'Patrouille de France'  I attended a ton of air shows with my parents as a kid and while I saw the British Red Arrows more often, the Patrouille de France came over some times as well.  

I remember surfing various airports on Google Maps (as you do) a few years ago and spotted somewhere in Florida what was obviously a Fouga Magister in Patrouille de France colors.  I thought I snapped a screen shot of it, but can't find it.  I;ll have to go looking again.

Found it.  This is St. Augustine airport.  I got this screen shot a few years ago, the plane is still in the same spot now if you look.  I don't think it's moved.
