Country: | I understood the boom thing, but I was under the assumption nothing could be stored in them to compare to a Lancs storage capabilities..

Country: | Lol I think the surface area of the Lanc was greater, therefore more people could be strapped to it...
Although i think the strapping method would not work too well... I think large, industrial size staples would hold those people on better if u were to say, pull an Immelman...
