A couple guys from Alberta were rescuing a old B-26 Marauder bomber and were charged by the Province for doing so. Regardless the plane was nicknamed the Flying Prostitute because her wingspan was so short that she had no visible means of support! http://www.cbc.ca/canada/north/story/2009/06/05/watson-plane-charges.html
B-26 Marauder "Our past is not to be peddled," Jeff Hunston of the Heritage Resources Department said Friday. "We want our heritage in the Yukon." IT WAS A HULK SITTING AT THE BOTTOM OF THE LAKE, FER CRYIN' OUT LOUD! HOW WAS IT SERVING AS "YOUR HERITAGE"? YOU (THE GUBAMENT) LET IT SIT FOR YEARS, AND NOW WHEN ENTERPRISING INDIVIDUALS TAKES IT UPON THEMSELVES TO GET IT, YOU THINK YOU CAN JUST STEP IN AND CONFISCATE IT? IN SCHOOL, THEY WOULD CALL THAT BULLYING.......
The Yukon is basically broke right now, until mining demand picks up. The mosquitoes up there are bigger than the B-26. They must think that ice-flows are a great tourist attraction.
If pilots thought that short wings made her a Flying Prostitute, how would they handle Male Hummingbirds flying faster than Jets when chasing a piece of tail? http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/8091944.stm My wife and I like birds. She also eats chicken like a daily vitamin. I think Mexican gals go crosseyed if they don't eat chicken everyday. Seems to work. She can still aim her elbows into my ribs pretty good.
