"Sled Driver" may be impossible to get but "Skunk Works" is a great read if you're into the SR-71 (even if it's primary subject is the development of the stealth fighter)

Likewise, I've seen a U2 actually in flight low level, it was back when I was young living in San Jose so I can only assume from the altitude it was going to land at Moffet Field. But it had an escort and by god that thing doesnt look anything like any other plane ever and everyone just sort of nods and says sure you saw one. Speaking of bad rear end and Moffet Field...

Wikipedia posted:

Hangar One is one of the world's largest freestanding structures, covering 8 acres (3.2 ha) at the Moffett Field airship hangars site at Moffett Field in Mountain View, in Santa Clara County of the southern San Francisco Bay Area, California.

The massive hangar has long been one of the most recognizable landmarks of California's Silicon Valley. An early example of mid-century modern architecture, it was built in the 1930s as a naval airship hangar for the USS Macon.

Here's an M10 Wolverine Tank destroyer in Normandy. So awesome they named an X-man after it!


I believe you'll find that Wolverine was born long before Normandy though

I just can't shake the feeling that that is the same facial expression Lois Slotin made moments after finishing the assembly of Trinity.

In my experience, there's no such thing as mere luck.
