Better yet, keep enforcing existing FAA rules and air traffic will continue to be as safe as it is now. And teach car drivers to share the road with bicyclists, as well as look behind before opening their cars’ doors.

Indeed it does. Might be an old drawing they had lying about.

Ideally the the very first SAAB prototype, but I doubt the museum staff will let you near it. So the green SAAB 92 then, because it has an asthmatic, smoking, two cyl. two stroke engine.

I came here to find at least a few references to ‘Ferris Bueller’s Day Off’, but no luck. What’s the matter with you people?

I know nobody is going to fly over that hole. My comment was meant as a lighthearted comment about the dumb situations people get themselves into.

The ones going slower managed to brake and go back. We’ll never hear about them, and we won’t hear about the ones fast enough to fly over the missing part either. Guess the three mentioned here found ‘the sweet spot’, so to speak.

Gramps was right. (Speaking of the WW2 air war, allied gunners called the new jets for ‘blowjobs’, before that word got its current meaning. I edited that into Wikipedia’s Me 262 entry, but within 20 minutes somebody else had edited it out again.)
