Very sad. There is a lot of damage too.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

FSX, we've come a long way baby! Skunk Works is an official alias for Lockheed Martin’s Advanced Development Programs (ADP), formerly called Lockheed Advanced Development Projects. Skunk Works is responsible for a number of famous aircraft designs, including the U-2, the SR-71 Blackbird, the F-117 Nighthawk, and the F-22 Raptor. Its largest current project is the F-35 Lightning II

Very sad. I was there in October of 1999 with the Air Guard from New York State before heading down to McMurdo Ice Station on the coast of Antarctica. I've pictures of downtown and all, especially of the stone church at the center of town. Beautiful city. It will be again, but not the same as before. Cry
