I found the door, but if I was Bo, I wouldn't be jumping in the path of a five-blade propeller...On the other hand if his vice presidential pick is a real babe, and needs a qualified campaign manager for her own presidential bid, arrangements can be made...Phillbo will only be looking for the egress opening......Ben

The YouTuber here, Sgt. Vittie, is someone I took exception with on one of his previous videos, and pretty much busted him for misinformation...Now he posts this new one about a supposed jet powered Boeing B-17...My research shows he was probably talking about the Pratt & Whitney T-34 engine, a turbo prop, not a jet engine, which was mounted in a B-17 used as a test bed by P&W...The aircraft had a strange history as it was later stored in a warehouse, damaged and rebuilt with parts of another B-17 to become a "flying museum" or warbird at airshows...It was destroyed in a fire on its final flight after landing...I'm going to post in the comments on this video, and see what replies I get......Ben

I'll offer the most unusual plane that I have flown in, the Ford (yes the same Ford) Trimotor. My wife and I took this short ride over Lake Erie on our honeymoon in 1967. They were still flying the daily mail at that time. As interesting as the motor configuration, the corrugated roofing covering the fuselage added another dynamic

The Ford tri-motor was a venerable machine and the transport of choice before the Douglas DC-3. I’ll bet there are still a few in service going on a century in continual use.

Similar to the TriMotor was the Junkers Ju-52, mass produced in WWII Germany ironically with a Pratt & Whitney designed engine, and used almost exclusively by Der Fuhrer as personal air transportation, even though better choices were available as previously pointed out by an unknown author...
