    Yeah, but the way things are going soon it will be cheaper to buy a B-52 to live in than a house.

      You could definitely make a sweet conversion in there. Just need to figure out how to park it next that to that nice quiet creek.

      That’s mostly the angle. The wheels on a B-52 are big, but you can still look over them (very accurate “I stood next to one once” description). I’d say no taller than 1.5m?

    Last Christmas by Bham!

    Verse:

    Last Christmas, I bought you a plane,

    A B-52, thought it’d keep you entertained.

    But it turns out, it’s not just for fun,

    A hundred-year commitment weighs a ton.

    Chorus:

    Last Christmas, I gave you my plane,

    But the very next day, you gave it away.

    This year, to save me some stress,

    I’m buying you socks and a matching vest.

    I wonder if there will still be DC-3s flying commercially by that time? I imagine the Basler turboprop conversions will be.
