Well, I was at work and I received an e-mail alert from Paul the gentleman who started the PHL Spotters Group.

What an aeroplane. I remember seeing one at Hatfield as a wee sprog.

As for uglyness, and knowing it's origins, it has a functional sort of beauty. :)

Nice one, Cory. I was at work myself, checking my email and received the one Paul sent as well. My shift was over at noon, and figured I'd have time to get down there by 2. I was actually calling your phone when a customer came in that I had to help. Curses! Never managed to get down there though, as I figured since I didn't have my camera it'd be a bit worthless (other than seeing you, Cory ;)). I'll be down in Texas in a few months so I think I'll be able to catch her there. Glad you got her though.

What a catch!!

There's something beautiful about it, from an engineering standpoint... elegant in concept, if not form. That must have been something at that meeting when someone said "I know... we could mod a Stratotanker, maybe...?" ;D
And let's not forget: somewhere in there is a B-29...  :D
