Yep
MAGA

If you can’t fix it with a hammer, it must be electrical.

Yeah that was a magnificent landing... what a pro.
Is the need enough? Or does the want suffice?

Knowing what really happened and who was flying makes reading the comments on the video a hoot. He had flown that plane all over the US doing mapping. He flew grids in many states and was returning to homebase for a 100 hour checkup.  He was flying the plane to get hours and was over 900 when this happened. Airlines require 975(if you have a degree from an accredited school) hours. His year contract was almost up and needed a few more hours. He flew that plane a month after that landing, thats how little damage was done. I can't believe he went back up in that thing but he did. Got his hours and now is in the right seat of a CRJ900. Almost has the time to switch to the left seat.

I have also flown in the Collins B-17, but don't remember who the pilot was at the time.  This flight was in Florida where they often brought the B-24 as well as the B-17.  I'm retired Air Force an x RB-47H pilot.  One of the RB-47H's I flew is in the Air Force Museum in Ohio.  Sad day for too many.

Alabama has one sitting in front of the Air & Space museum. Saw it some years back while working in the area.

One of my favorites, I also like quite a few others, Conny, B29, Electra, HellCat, Corsair, and P38 Lighting. Like jets and radial piston power

turn up the volume check it out

Lot of folks forget the predecessor to the two seat SR71 "Blackbird" was the single seat A12 "Oxcart"   -- same design concept and mission, but smaller in size.
