Can we please stop hotlinking pics?

(Obit from 2002 ... "professional baritone singer," which I think translates to performer in the New York Metropolitan Opera, and also raced a Ferrari, in period and later vintage. )

Chilly but 5,000 ft ceiling.

There's a meme inhere somewhere....

Boeing B-17.

In reply to Duke :

Is the driver saying he wants one lap?

In reply to NickD :

I'm good at plane spotting. I can tell you that's an F-14 just by the tails alone, but what the hell is that?

In reply to Appleseed :

or, if you are more of a TNG fan

or, if you are a Firefly fan and want to stay relevant to the airplane

In reply to Appleseed :

Ball-Bartoe JW-1 Jetwing. It was a blown-wing prototype, which reportedly worked pretty well, having a top speed of 400mph but being controllable as slow as 40mph.

I think it's a kamikaze, but it's not a Yokosuka Ohka.

[edit] BZZZZT!  Wrong.

Yokosuka MXY-7 Ohka.   Essentially a 2,500 lb bomb with wings and a pilot. 

Commonly called the Baka bomb. Bakatari meaning stupid in Japanese.
