Just the right amount of motors for long distance/over water trips.

I flew the "8" for 11 years. Just about the most difficult airplane I have ever flown and I loved every minute of it. LOL I understand why they're getting rid of it but I hate to see it go just the same.

It's a good thing Wilber and Orville didn't listen to all the criticism.

It's a good thing Orville and Wilber ignored all those who said it couldn't be done.

The effectiveness and capability of the USSR and now Russian military has been way overestimated since about 1949. Good news for our defense industry though.

I'm just an old retired guy but just exactly how fast do you need to fly to get somewhere?

Their actions jeopardized everyone on that flight. If you put that many people at risk, you deserve the maximum. Four months ain't enough.

I worked on the "Q" model KC-135 that refueled the SR-71 at Kadena in Okinawa back in the 60's. I've got some Super 8 movies (remember them) of it somewhere.
