Did not see that coming.

My first date with my wife of 25 years, we went to the Lone Star flight museum on Galveston island.

They had a Jumo 004 engine on display. Very cool :!:

Interesting.. those engine were each built by hand. You could not exchange parts from one engine to another because of tolerance issues. You could only run a Jumo 004 jet engine for about 10~25 hours before it had to be replaced.

It was a beast and one of the fastest, if not the fastest WWII fighters.

4x 30mm cannons in the nose.

Thing is, it came way too late ('44 IIRC) to have any major effect.

That, plus the fact that that narcissistic, failed "artist" painter Hitler was too fucking stupid to realize their potential: he wanted to use them as bombers.

What is it with these narcissistic, failed losers who always seem to turn into leftist dictators when given the opportunity? History is full of them, and the Democratic Party is full of them, too.
The Democratic Party is a criminal organization and the enemy within of the United States of America.
