that seems like a lot of potentially dead or critically injured people if somebody wrecks or loses control. I definitely wouldn't be standing on the side of the road like that.

I don't think it's as bad as it used to be, but a golden rule is that rally spectators are loving suicidal.

It's not a photo, but my favorite SR-71 story comes from the book Sled Driver by former Blackbird pilot Brian Shul. Good luck finding a copy for less than $700 these days.

Apologies for the long quote, but it's completely worth it.





The Lightning was interesting because all of its considerable armament was in the nose, which caused it to "saw" enemy planes to pieces. :black101:



Both the American ace of aces and our number 2 ace flew Lightnings, and it was the plane that killed Yamamoto.

I must have run across this story a dozen times in various places on there 'ol internets, but every time I stop to read it again. Such a great story...

For some reason I get a big kick out of the fact they just crossed "dog" off the award and added "cat" above it.

the kid is digging it

As far as "scarred for life" goes, this one is up with those lightning strike scars. This kid's going to be the most baddass in the 3rd grade.

The thing that impresses me isn't so much the size of the ship, as that they are building it indoors.

I had the same thought. "gently caress the boat, look at the size of that room."

If what I've heard about bush pilots is true, this was a walk in the park for him.
