JUST KIDDING lol Just thought it was a cool plane I came across and thought I'd share for those who haven't seen or heard of it. Might look familiar to those who have seen the movie " The Aviator" ( I believe it's in there but I might be wrong) Merry Christmas All!! <S>  :salute

Yep, the plane Howard Hughes crashed in Beverly Hills. I hear after that he founded a little known organization called SAPP.

It explains why it's such a secret doesn't it? :)

Look more like a U2 spy/recon version of 1940s.
