UFO Over Southern Illinois - Part 1 of 5
This is one of the few UFO movies you'll ever see that's actually worth watching. Several police officers called in a report on it and one even snapped a photo (albeit a very bad Polaroid). NO ONE IS SUGGESTING THAT THIS IS AN EXTRATERRESTRIAL SPACE CRAFT! I'm from this area and everyone here assumes it was some kind of military or experimental aircraft. Boeing flies experimental aircraft here at night all the time.
The interest in this video lies in the fact that someone has invented an aircraft that can both hover and accelerate at great speeds, and it can do so in near silence. Everyone in this video (which includes the testimonies of several eye witness police officers from several counties) claimed that what they saw was as thick as a 2 story building and about as long as a football field. Whatever we've got out there now seems to be an amazing achievement in aeronautical engineering. We'll probably find out all about in a few years, but right now it's fun to speculate.

Rock Island, Illinois Farmall Plant Past
RFD TV Show Direct TV, Ch 379, about the Rock Island Farmall plant which is being torn down. Max Armstrong interviewed people like Spike O'Dell (radio personality) and former workers and buyers of Farmall tractors. They had a parade of the restored old tractors run through the assembly line area (50 acres where they made up to 350 tractors a day) for one last time.
Great Program!
Kind of sad, but brings back a lot of good memories about a time of American workers sense of pride, prosperity, and "better times for middle class".

Chicago, Illinois - Victor/Victoria
Lesley Ann Warren was an absolute scream in this clip from Victor/Victoria. You can see she was having a ball playing Norma, the dumb blonde. She was the perfect actress for this role.
I love the way she gritted her teeth and bit off the word "Paris" in the opening portion. Because it was in Paris that her boyfriend dumped her for Victoria (Julie Andrews).

Southwest Airlines Unveils Illinois One
SOUTHWEST AIRLINES UNVEILS ILLINOIS ONE
Airline Honors the State of Illinois and City of Chicago with Specialty Aircraft
CHICAGO -- April 14, 2008- Southwest Airlines today honored the State of Illinois with the unveiling of Illinois One, a Boeing 737 emblazoned with an artist's rendering of the state flag.
Southwest Airlines' top leadership celebrated the high-flying tribute to the State of Illinois at an event in a Chicago Midway hangar with Mayor Richard M. Daley and local Employees.
"We are thrilled to honor Illinois with this beautiful aircraft; it is truly a testament to the great relationship we have developed with our Chicago Midway Customers and a tribute to our local hard-working Employees," said Southwest Airlines Chairman Herb Kelleher. "Our pride for Illinois will now fly high over the 64 cities Southwest serves."
Since beginning service in Illinois at Chicago Midway in 1985, Southwest Airlines has grown from eight to 227 daily nonstop departures. As Southwest Airlines has increased its flights, it also has increased its need for space.
In 2004, with the help of Mayor Daley's outstanding Leadership, Southwest Airlines participated in the Terminal Development Project at Chicago Midway.
The expansion has allowed Southwest Airlines to meet and exceed a promise of growth and has created an ideal environment for offering the Legendary Southwest-brand of Customer Service for Chicago travelers.
"Southwest's success at Chicago Midway would not have been possible without the sum of many parts, and this beautiful aircraft is a result of our collective hard work," said Gary Kelly, Southwest's Chief Executive Officer. "We have a great partnership with the State of Illinois and the city of Chicago. Together we have all given our Illinois Customers a high-quality travel experience and low fares."
More than 500 Southwest Airlines Employees and community leaders celebrated the unveiling today at one of the airline's hangars. Attendees waved Illinois flags, took photos with a bald eagle, and were the first to see Illinois One up close and personal.
Illinois One joins twelve other 737s in Southwest's fleet that carry a unique paint scheme: Arizona One, California One, Lone Star One (Texas), Nevada One, New Mexico One, three Shamu aircraft (Sea World), Silver One (celebrating Southwest's 25th anniversary), Triple Crown One (recognizing Southwest's top rankings for ontime performance, baggage handling, and Customer satisfaction), Maryland One, and Slam Dunk One (tribute to our NBA partnership).
The newest aircraft in the Southwest Airlines fleet is truly a work of labor and art, requiring 26 people working three shifts over the course of six days to paint. Over 93 gallons of paint and 10 different colors make up Illinois One.
Chicago Midway Airport is Southwest's second largest operation in terms of daily departures with 227 daily nonstop flights to 47 cities. Southwest Airlines, the nation's largest carrier in terms of domestic passengers enplaned, currently serves 64 airports in 32 states. Based in Dallas, Southwest currently operates nearly 3,400 flights a day and has 34,000+ Employees systemwide.
