My dad flew P47's.... the base near them flew P38's
They were directed by the officers not to mess with each other in the air... Fat chance

Very cool! Heard about it; never seen an actual pic. Makes me think of the spaceship they dug up in the remake of The Thing.

Yep, 104. Just bought this model in 1:18 scale. The model is 38" long!! Not bad for $40.

That XB-70 Valkyrie was way ahead of its time, from the wing tip aero work to the engine pod and thrust dynamics. Great, great airplane (from a fanboy's p/o/v anyway).
I believe that one of the last (if not the last) of them was lost when a chase plane essentially landed on the Valkyrie while the Valkyrie was landing. It might've been a 104, in fact. JP

My right wrist is kinda shot from computer use.....I suppose that rules out a sport bike anyway, eh?

Looks like putting the name Titanic on just about anything is bad news.
