Pete, todays "Plane a Day" is the Convair B-36. But the video of the day is more interesting. A ducted fan airplane or model is definately not a newer technology. Great site.

Did you read the caption about the Ryan Fireball?  Collapsed the gear on landing.  If you look at the menu of the site, you can go look at all the planes they have done so far.  I have the site in my favorites listing. H^^

Read it, knew it would be on file - my "quick" line was poetic license, but thanks for pointing that out. Gotta to admit though, it was one dramatic action shot of a very rare bird. It also shows that C/L carrier planes aren't the only ones that deck-dive. OK, probably not the result of a deck dive but whatta bounce! I've seen a few Cessna's and a Mooney or two in similar attitudes, often with the same result...ouch! 8)
