Ah, the XB-70 Valkyrie. What a badass plane. I remember seeing it for the first time at Wright-Patterson AFB when I was a wee thing, maybe 7 years old, back in the '60s. Here at Eglin, they have a bunch of cool planes on static display, including the SR-71, B-52, F-15, F-16, A-10. They have a MOAB bomb, a gun off an A-10... Here, y'all check it out for yourselves: http://www.afarmamentmuseum.com/index.shtml

@storminator - the reason for the fuel leaks on the ground is the fuselage panels had to be loose-fitting due to thermal expansion when traveling at Mach 3+. Also, it was refueled in the air because it wasn't designed to takeoff at full load. It had to be light to get airborne (without a ridiculous takeoff speed), so they put enough fuel in to get it in the air and to a tanker. There's another one here, at the Air Force Armament Museum, part of Eglin Air Force Base. - Comment on Rules of a firefight (2008-10-18 11:58:39)

He is actually awaiting interrogation. Look at the trepidation in his eyes. Do you think he killed someone? - Comment on A Portrait of an American Indian (2008-10-12 12:11:30)

Gotta love the look of concentration on the photographer in the reflection - he's trying hard for the crotch shot. - Comment on Theme Day (2008-10-01 11:14:16)
I hope everyone has learned their lesson. When tiki says, "Submit pictures for theme day", I suggest you do just that. Or next month we could be faced with 175 pictures of Dane Cook. - Comment on Theme Day (2008-10-01 02:34:24)
Tiki, you can post my submission anyway. At least it's not Lesbohan. - Comment on Mazda Furai Concept Vehicle (2008-09-27 23:39:15)
Yes, the most beautiful car ever. Go to youtube, load up a vid of it on the track, and crank up the sound. Three rotor Wankel - it's the scariest sounding car, ever. Someone said it sounds like it runs on angry wasps. - Comment on An American Carol (2008-09-25 20:55:28)
@ando This is not by the people who created eXpelled. It's from David Zucker, of Airplane! fame.
