Superb Greg. Could very easily pass for an old photo.

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

speechless.

I went outside once. The graphics weren't all that great.

Burn the land and boil the sea, you can't take the sky from me.

Wow

That is super cool

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

Don't thank me! Thank yourself for the incredible work that would blow even WWII veterans AND the President away. If I had Obama's e-mail I'd send this to him, great history in the shot!
