I've done a C-5 as well. Forgot about that! Read more

Nicely done! Read more

It wouldn't fit within the 70 character allowance. Read more

I know what you mean. Unfortunately, we can only use 70 characters in headlines. :-/ Read more

I feel like I was very clear that the 747 has been a much more successful plane, over the course of its production. My only real conflation was in the mention that both aircraft may be nearing the end of their production lives. Read more

I agree. Like I said, the 747 seems the most obvious option. Plus, it just screams "MERICA!!" Read more

I am such a geek for that plane, my wife and I made a special stop in Everett before taking an Alaska cruise, to see it on the assembly line prior to its first flight. Since then, I've been lucky enough to tour ZA003 (one of the 5 test planes) during the "Dream… Read more
