So, what--next week, then? ;)

B-47, without looking up the plane, was the inspiration for Boeing 707 right? Have to appreciate that Jimmy Steward movie where he is the B-47 pilot.

Take your time. We have been steamrolled by a challenges in 2022 all of a sudden. Stock market crash, ruptured appendix. It's a perfect excuse to watch videos. I had surgery in Leuven Belgium in 2005. No videos then. I had a WW2 book collection in the room. The trip turned a little surreal. I found a 105mm shell and took it to a small museum. They told me to set it down and they called the bomb squad. I didn't stick around.

Great photo of a B-47. My father once got a ride in one which frightened him by "flapping its wings like a bird" in low-level turbulence. It smoothed out beautifully at altitude, he said, but he refused any further offers to come along.

Thanks for the update, Chris. I'll check out your last two videos on the off chance that I may have missed one or both. I'm very much looking forward to the next two, especially the one on the Bf-110. I've always thought that it was initially a good design, but perhaps became overtaken by newer designs and technology. But I'm sure you'll have all the answers!
