I came across a story that’s pretty interesting and thought I’d share it, even though it’s not exactly for #TankTwitter – but there is a tank. We can call it #SundayStorytime 🙂

With the Great Depression kicking off in 1929, big manufacturers had to do something to stay in business. For some that meant cutting production costs.
Clarence Taylor, an engineer, designed a lightweight aircraft composed of wood, fitting this “lower cost” model and the prototype had its test flight in September 1930. He called it the “Taylor Cub.” 
This means nothing to ya'll, but today is the 15 year anniversary of the time myself and another radio DJ accidentally played ‘Candy’ by 8 Ball & MJG on a gospel station for 4 hours straight, no commercials….on a Sunday morning. A thread. #SundayStoryTime
For those that don’t know radio, on Sunday mornings there aren’t many jocks in the building. The voices you hear between songs are all pre-recorded breaks. Real Jocks don’t get to the station until 10-11am. The building is empty except for one man.The board operator. aka Board Op
Every radio station houses about 4-5 different stations.(Hip Hop, Country, Rock, etc…) The job of the board op is to go from room to room every 30 mins or so to A) Make sure the music and commercials in the computer match what's listed in a paper log
