Okay, so I posted elsewhere (and, of course, I can't fricking find which thread it's in) about the Oregon guy in the Fifties, who bought a B-17, surplus, from the USAAF and flew it home, in order to install it on his gas station.

Do you know how many there are? ONE!!! All the rest are TRUE I oughta know, remember, mine ends in "ski"
