Oh, yeah...The reason for coming to this thread:

Happy Birthday Kelly Johnson. He'd have been 109.

Designed, or led the design teams for the SR-71, U-2, 1st aircraft to go over 400 mph, Mach 2, Mach 3, 1st operational jet fighter, the Lockheed Model 10 Electra, F-104 Starfighter, P-38 Lightning, Constellation, F-117 Nighthawk, C-130 and about three, or four dozen other aircraft.

The world would be a very different place without him. At the least it would look and sound different.

Thank God he was on our side.
