So, Skipper –
How’s your damage control training program? Is it ready to face the likes of what caused this damage? Ready for something that lasts longer than a standard GQ battle problem – measured in days not hours or minutes? Oh and about the PRT program too… —–

A Lonely Sky
Another serendipitous find on the ‘net whilst searching for something else. B-29’s, X-1’s and an actor from an all-time favorite movie – so what’s not to like? Turn the page and watch (about 10 minutes).

Riight.. “there are no winners or losers here.” 😉
