V16s are common and V20s less so, but a V18? Anyway, check out the hole in the side of this failed 78 liter, V18 Cummins QSK78 block.


This's a picture of the eclipse taken from the International Space Station as its shadow (umbra) passes through North America.

Douglas Tulsa, Oklahoma got a contract from Boeing to build the new TOP SECRET Nuclear Bomber the B47 at Airforce Plant 3 in Tulsa...........at that time there were armed guards in the tower and the plant had its own PX (military story)........evidence of the B47 was evident around Tulsa as the Airview Drive In featured a NEON picture of it on their screen tower...........evidently there must have been a lot of rejected canopies because at one time almost every day care center in North/Central TUlsa had a reject B47 Canopy on the playground. In addition , Douglas Tulsa was also buiding the new new YB66 seen on the right.




You are looking at the clearest image ever taken of Venus
