The Debonair (Bonanza with conventional tail) came out later that year ... they later changed it's name to Bonanza and even later stopped production of the V-tail aircraft entirely.

I've ridden in several V-tails, a well-known characteristic was that they slowly 'wagged' the tail left and right while cruising. Made some sick. But they were faster than the conventional tail planes.

He came out of the water, excitedly describing the bowl-shaped object and its bolts that were bigger than basketballs. “I started telling my crew: ‘My God, I found a UFO.’” He sketched a rough outline of what he had seen on a napkin.

Georgia: Amateur Divers Find Long-Lost Nuclear Warhead – World News Daily Report

Quote:
Savannah| A couple of tourists from Canada made a surprising discovery while scuba diving in Wassaw Sound, a small bay located on the shores of Georgia. Jason Sutter and Christina Murray were admiring the marine life of the area when they stumbled upon a Mark 15 thermonuclear bomb that had been lost by the United States Air Force more than 50 years ago.

Mystery object off Haida Gwaii may be old nuclear bomb | Vancouver Sun

Quote:
The pilot said the bomb aboard the B-36 had lead in its core instead of plutonium, so it wasn’t a functional atomic bomb. But the crew decided to jettison it over water before abandoning the plane...........

“The large amount of TNT in the bomb could have caused major damage where it would have impacted.”......................

“The Mark IV bomb uses these things called pit balls. These pit balls have the explosives in them, and they’re quite large, bigger than basketballs. So what I think I found was the housing that holds these pit balls.”

That is the #1 reason I bought a XK instead of a 911. Had my 944 leave the Porsche dealer AFTER an alignment with uhh...well, a major need to go back.
Management changed around at the level above the dealer itself, and for a few years to come, until they sort their stuff out, I didn't want a relationship.
