    Probably the SR-71 Blackbird[^]. You know, for all those times I have to go from LA to New York in about an hour. ;)

      One year, probably late 90s, the B2 did a flypast at the Farnborough Airshow. We had a battlefield radar (plus hopefully dummy missiles) on the ground, not too far from the runway. It DID see it coming and when the pictures were published, the Americans were none too happy by all accounts.

            If you could have any kind of private jet, which type/brand would you choose? [Asking for a friend.]

            - I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

              The more you have the less you need. Sounds logical to me.

                  Go to YouTube and search "Dashcams Australia"*. Cars don't know not to hit you with a visible one! :laugh: * I know there are others, but the Ozzies just seem to do car crashes so much more professionally. It's almost as if their driving licences are issued via Christmas Crackers ...

                      I thoroughly approve of your choice. Why you ask? My mothers uncle worked for English Electric and designed the wings for that beast (and for the Canberra).

                          Haha, not quite, too high up the food chain I think. But he always drove convertibles with his foot flat to the floor even in his 70's. But he did wear the classic horn rimmed specs :) I found an old photo of the EE design/engineering team with the P.1 (prototype) from around 1954/55 - yes, he's wearing a sports jacket :-D
