So the war on alcohol was a joke.

Big deal. Not like it's a frost troll.

Kill it with fire, then nuke it from orbit

Not entirely appropriate. Nobody's misidentified an aircraft yet, and the Avro Arrow / B-70 were completely different aircraft for entirely different purposes.

Although they both were long, pointy, delta wing designs with way too much engine. WHEEEEEE!

Heh, fair.

I sometimes think the best and worst time in history to be a fighter pilot would have been the '50s or '60s. Some of those designs were just nuts.

Horny?

Great read. I lol'ed.

this one's for you, uki

Very nice pics, Lew. I like the bee.

The S is for Science
