Haha ouch. Yes that is true.

The keels and wing spars are likely to be original. :)

Mr. Wright would be 150 next year, but yes. ;)

The Tu-95 Bear has similar stories of pilots from multiple generations. 

It wouldn’t be cheaper. You’d have to start from the tooling and build the entire production line up. If you’re going to all that trouble, you might as well design a brand new aircraft, or convert an aircraft still in production. The 767 comes to mind.

Wooden ships have this problem with being made of wood. Unless maintenance is rather comprehensive, wood tends to have a limited lifespan when immersed in water. Probably worse than metal fatigue.

COTD!

All hail Kinja!

I played the crap out of Terror from the Deep! Those enormous maps were awesome to younger me, but I don’t know if I’d have the patience nowadays to find that last stupid enemy lurking in a forgotten corner. :)

This came out in March on XBox One and Windows. An amazing sequel to an amazing game.

Hah. Except we don’t actually use ü. That’s the Germans. Or ë. That’s the French.

“Gemera” is punny in Swedish. “Ge mera” means “give more”, which I suppose is related to the extra two seats compared to other Koenigseggs.

There is even a specific homage to The Great Dictator in the film. When Waititi/Hitler kicks the chair as he walks out of the kitchen in a huff, he uses the same movement as when Chaplin/Hitler kicks the globe up in the air during the dance scene.

It’s a pretty global phenomenon. In HK, masks have been hard to find for weeks, with long lines at shops where supplies are expected, and jacked prices.
