F104 Starfighter… Can’t turn for shite, can’t land on a carrier, can’t slow speed fight, but it’s fast - and it attracted hot chicks like “Jeannie” to Major Nelson…

The Luftwaffe bought a bunch of these. Killed a lot of German pilots in accidents because apparently she’s a bitch to fly.

What a great way to end the day when the TV Station signed off at night... "Put out my hand, and touched the face of God." Member?

"High Flight"

Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
of sun-split clouds,—and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of—wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there,
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air ....

Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
Where never lark nor ever eagle flew—
And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.
