The best way I’ve ever heard it described, “It’s the gun that forgot to become obsolete.”

The Marine Corps and Navy have already retired their H-53Ds and the big Es are on their way out. A lot more shoulder room in one of those compared to the H-34s.

Should ever become rich, like fuck you money rich, I’m buying a PBY Catalina and turning it into an RV of sorts - not an original idea. There was a company out of Australia that was modernizing them. Not as roomy as a big bomber, but has a ruggedness and the go anywhere capabilites unique to flying boats. And I fucking love the look of the wings over the fuselage.

Which one is that? The one you made up or the one that was famous for it and needing the drive motor replaced over a dozen times?

The M2 is almost as old. Both are still in service around the world. Both are John Browning designs.

Except Honda and those Civics have established a reputation of running forever. Tesla cannot claim the same.

What are hexbear and lemmygrad?
