Accidental juxtaposition:

My favorite ripoff. Original, released February 7, 1964: Ripoff, released July 1964:

Years were what the subject of a Steely Dan song was reeling in; she wouldn't have known a diamond if she held it in her hand.

"Be" was sung by Neil Diamond in that gloriously silly movie Jonathan Livingston Seagull.

Live from New York, it's the Ed Sullivan Show, featuring Topo Gigio, Señor Wences, the fabulous Budapest Ballerinas, and Miss Connie Francis making her 312th appearance!

It's more than that - the current total of surviving B-17s is 46 (after the losses of Nine-O-Nine and Texas Raiders). Several are currently being restored to fly; a couple are being recreated mostly from scratch. (I worked on the third and fifth editions of Scott Thompson's book Final Cut: The Post-War B-17 Flying Fortress and Survivors as a proofreader and editor.)

Hmm. Anyone else notice the ribbed (at last!) taillight lenses on the '65 GTO?

Well, as I've said elsewhere, it's the first kit I ever built - some 55 years ago - so I ought to try it again. And this time I might not use the shocks for grille decorations. SteveG, will this share any parts with the Modified Stocker such as the hood and bumpers? And if you're redoing the hood, can it be fixed so the sides don't drop down below cowl level?

Three is tough, but doable. In 1-2-3 order:

It wasn't that aircraft; it was their other Kingcobra - the sole surviving P-63F: https://warbirdsnews.com/warbird-restorations/caf-bell-p-63f-kingcobra-re-emerges-in-fresh-livery.html

Great! I'll take this one :

Thanks for your service, Dad. He was a weather observer in the USAF during the occupation of Japan postwar; not a pilot but he always loved the P-51: And to several of my uncles in the Army, USAF and Marines; one of whom when folks thank him for his service, responds "Well, thank you for the three-year paid vacation in Germany!" And finally one for the Navy; to my housemate and longtime friend Matt who served during the Vietnam War on the carrier USS Kitty Hawk during the late '60s, whose favorite shipboard task was being the morning DJ for the ship's radio station, KTTY:

Knot tying is a useful skill for Scouting, sailing, and bondage sessions.

Self pollution was the description in the 1949 edition of Webster's Dictionary for... I better quit right here.

Ooh, that '57 Imperial...
