  3. "Look! Is that a man?": "You're Damn Right it is!"

  4. one of my favorite sculptures. german air force used to fly into keflavik with a brace of them. we had them as quests in our hangar. you can literally not get a feeler gauge between the butt joints of the skin panels. it was like carved from metal. central air data computer was as large as a kitchen stove. vacuum tubes galore, not a bad thing. unbelievably, they used these Mach 2+ interceptors in the air to mud arena. original lawn darts.

  5. Couldn't make out whether that is a 102 or 106 taxiing by in the first video.
