Talk about low gears!!! (pic)
Need a tug around the block...how about the whole block! This animal is stationed at one of the local airports where we had a car and plane show this weekend. You could take a spin in this P25 <~~~ I think, for 300 bucks (6 at a time), or for 600 bucks, you could fly in one of the 3 in the sky!! 
I tell ya, the 600 bucks looked like fun...but I'll direct it towards my next project

Can you even imagin that bomber and crew as they sat on the end of the carrier deck waiting to try and take off with a full load of fuel (knowing it was not enough to return), bombs and hoping it would not drop off the end of the flight deck? God bless ALL of those brave Americans!

And if I remember right they attacked us, trying to get us in the war. WE were trying to stay out of it.
