Re: Can I???

Actually, if you're thinking of the B-52 that there was a National
Geographic article on and a Nova special on, you can try, but things usually
go to _sh*t_.

The plane wasn't recovered the first year. Time ran out. The 2nd year, they
were in a rush to get it out and caught it on fire. There it still sits.


Kinda like my v-8 280Z conversion project. Or my Traveler frame
*lengthening* project. Caught both on fire while in too much of a hurry!
heheheh.
