Not being able to get wet is not entirely true.  My reference to that
aircraft was that two people can take off, fly forty-eight hours non-stop,
drop ordinance, and come back and land safely.  That is a far cry from
walking up to someone and shooting them.

I have been all over the B-52's C-130's, KC-10's, KC-135's ETC.  I grew up
with them at Barksdale Air Force Base.

display in their museum.  Amazing looking aircraft up close, but not as big
as I thought it would be.
