A pretty good specimen for surgery :)

From : Aces pilots (http://www.acepilots.com/wwi/fr_nungesser.html)

Quote
A fractured skull, two broken legs, a smashed arm, a multiple-fractured jaw, a scorched foot, and a burned hand - these were some of the seventeen injuries that Charles Nungesser suffered while flying for France in the First World War. A dashing, devil-may-care pilot of legend, he was reputed to have spent more time in the hospital and in various women's beds than he did in the air. And he spent enough time in the air to shoot down 43 (45?) German aircraft.

There's an A-12 on the deck of the museum aircraft carrier Intrepid in NYC. Which one is faster, A-12 or SR-71? :)
