    I was just out in the back yard and this puppy flew over again. Never ceases to amaze me how fast it comes over, and how effortlessly. The engine's just purring, like it's barely above idle, but the plane's just hauling ass. I'd love to see it at full throttle!

    There's a lot more of us ugly mf'ers out here than there are of you pretty people!

    This is a hard-stand for testing engines while developing the B-36 bomber. Probably late 1940's.
