One of the most fascinating so-called "freaks" from the heyday of American sideshows in the early 1900s was a man named Martin Laurello. Unlike General Tom Thumb or Jo-Jo the Dog-Faced Boy, Laurello wasn't born with a deformity or unusual medical condition. Instead, he trained himself to turn his head completely backward. Laurello spent years painstakingly cultivating his bizarre ability, first managing to turn 120 degrees, then eventually a full 180. People have speculated over the years that the "Human Owl" had a bent spine or the ability to dislocate several vertebrae — but to this day, no one knows for sure just how he did it
1966 Airshow at Carswell Air Force Base,Texas. This was truly a “dream come true” airshow.
The person that labeled these airplanes did a good job BUT there are a few corrections that is not an SR 71 that is a YF -12 #934 .
Labeled an F -5 it is a T 38. The plane labeled as an A-37 is actually a Douglas (On-Mark) A-26. This is the only time and XB-70 was on display at an air show. This is an amazing group of airplanes created by the United States for the United States🇺🇸 Written by Linda Sheffield Miller
