I saw a blurp somewhere recently that said there are two of them in flying
condition, one of them is a sort of an on-going project in progress. There
aren't very many people who are;


1. Interested enough in those old planes to care if one flies or not.


2. Know enough about what they're doing to restore a piece of equipment that
complicated.


3. Restore it to a condition that it is safe to fly with several passengers
aboard.


There is also a B 25.


TR>> One of the original `flying wing' aircraft


RS>> One actually is still around? Prop or pure jet?


TR> Prop.


RS>2 or 4 props?


Two, I think. I'd have remembered `four'. But I think two.


Standing beside it, it seems very small for some of the things the pilot does
with it, and far too close to the ground for my liking.
