That's A LOTT of horsepower putting that bird aloft.
Good job ! to those who reincarnated her from her sleep.
May those who fly upon those wings be kept safe and always blessed in the performance and accomplishment of their missions. AMEN.
Brother Carnac,
I'd like to submit one more vehicle for VIN Info before your "Going Out Of Business Sale" ends.

Well, our conversation(s) have led to a road trip this morning to preview the potential purchase.
Prayerfully, we are patiently negotiating a favorable purchase.
Though some of the original information about this truck was confused with another vehicle in the VFD's inventory, we are now...
Here are a couple of links to photos and narrative of one of the NASA B-52's with a SPACE-PLANE dangling under it's right wing for air-drop release Test Flight......

I love the video effect that slows...
Have you read the TMs?
(Surprised that nobody's said that yet.)
Now on a serious note.....
Have you checked to see if any of the neighbors cats are missing?
SITUATIONAL AWARENESS !
When I was taught to drive I was in and on the crowded streets and highways of New Jersey. In such congestion you need to be aware of everything, all the time. I was instructed to check my mirrors often - like every few seconds. I have never let down my guard...
