The reason they do not count the DC-8 though is because it is actually a Subsonic aircraft. Very cool that they were able to do so though. __________________ US Army Blackhawk Crewchief 2000-2006 Classic ww2aircraft.net quotes: fly boy said: "isn't that the first jet bomber? becasue i have flown one in a flight sim before and i know how it handles" "wait what ok who made the b-2 crash come on people that messed up its a b-2" "ah yes the mistel those things are so annoying is games and in real life"

A bit more complicated, it was built like a brick. I was involved in a few "C" checks on them and we like to call them "leaky eights." __________________ "IF ITS RED OR DUSTY, DON'T TOUCH IT"
