water bombin'

I thought I saw a seagull today, flying past the corner of my eye. Seeing how I was just outside the North Vancouver transfer station, this would well have been a normal occurrence, as seagulls love the intoxicating aroma (stench) of dripping detritus, piled high. I took a second look at it though; it was not a bird. When I got a glimps of the bottom half of the wings, I noticed they were red. Gulls don't have red wings, and funny, what's that sound?

The sound was 10,000 horsepower divvied betwixt four engines, attached to two wings with a combined wingspan of 200 feet. The world's largest flying boat was, from my perspective, not more than 200 feet above my head! I was all smiles while i banked a giant turn two kilometers in diameter, soaring over the Lower Seymour area, and Maplewood, to head back due West into the central harbour. When it passed within a hundred feet of the Second Narrows Bridge deck, I thought I was about to witness a terrorist action unfurl.

Shit is bonkers!
