From The Land Of Sky-Blue Waters

.....where a six pack only contains Five

Saddles like this have a removable "Mochilla' ....The Pony Express used them....a rider could swap his tired horse for a fresh mount, and swap the mochilla to the newly saddled bronc. He'd be on his way in well under a minute, if there was no mail to be picked up or dropped at that station. Note the pouches bear locks to prevent tampering.

I dont think Hilda had a car, so this old Firestone is probably about to become a tire-swing

This post is partly correct, airplanes could carry heavy loads (I would add very large ones too), but airplane design evolved in another direction. I don't know Bohn, still exist? Thanks for sharing!!!

I'm sure She could cause quite a "Splash"

after she throws it, those knots don't look very tight

Apparently, youve never seen Northrop's "Flying Wing"....The original bomber designated B- 35 was cancelled, as well as the later YB 49, due to material fatigue and to Politics.

It seems the then-USAF Secretary wanted in, and pressured Jack Northrop to merge with Convair Aircraft. When Northrop refused, Contracts disappeared. The Material problems, to my personal knowledge, could have been worked out; that aircraft flew! But Jets were coming in. Northrop produced the F89 Scorpion from 1948....A perfect example of Technology Marching in leaps not steps....
