They both had wings, jet engines and were flown by the Air Force, as 
the B-57 by the latter.  Oh, and each had a 7 in there somewheres.  :D

From: "WILTON" 
Canberra British designed, wasn't it?  Licensed to Martin for production as
B-57.  A LOT of difference.  B-57 was small/medium twin-engine bomber with
wide, straight, thick wings.  B-47 was medium/heavy (max gross weight 230
klb) six-engine jet, long-range, nuclear bomber by Boeing with sleek, thin
wings swept back at 30° (I think), a design much-copied by every heavy jet
airliner since, 'cept Comet.
The B-47-like empennage is visible on most jet airliners, including 707
since mid-fifties.  B-47 is known by many as "father of modern jet
airliners."

Re: [MBZ] New driver seat is in wow

This reminds me of a conversation I overheard at the Governors ball,
Costa the Greek mechanic was speaking to Sir Ian Williams, the famous 
surgeon and it went something like this.
Costa: You know Sir Ian I beena thinking, you know we do pretty much da 
same job, we open da motor, we looka what is broken and den we fixa it. 
But you get the fancy title from da Queen and getts paid de big dollars. 
That's just notta fair you know.
Sir Ian: Well my dear chap, I do agree that there are similarities 
between our professions, however please consider that when I work on a 
'motor' it is running and I would think if you could repair a motor 
while it is running you would be getting suitably rewarded as well.

walked into my boss' office.

However do be careful, that sort of thing can give you a busted back or 
something.

BTW, y'all shoulda seen me loading the mower deck (don't know total

JD dealer.  By judicious use of physics in my favor, I was able to do 
it in spite of the walker interference (During one part of it, walker

now planning the deck unloading (safely, hopefully) when I return it.

Beautiful airplane; slow to accelerate; hard (touchy) to land; not very

Worked my a$$ off in rain, blizzards, heat, day, night, weekend, holiday,

Re: [MBZ] New driver seat is in wow

[WILTON]

Reminds me:  I still have in my tool box coupla nice open end wrenches that 
I confiscated after finding them TWICE wedged in between flaperon actuator 
and underside of wing spar on "my" B-47E during a major periodic inspection 
and repair.  (Flaperon is part of the flap that spills with aileron to aid 
roll control at slow speed and is hydraulically operated at 3000 psi.  When 
sitting on ground, flaps down, if auxiliary power is applied to aircraft, 
hydraulic pressure would instantly return flaperon to normal down position 
and shove wrenches through wing spar.)  'Bout midmorning one day in periodic 
inspection hanger, I found the two wrenches there.  'Removed them, found 
offending flight controls mechanic, scolded him for his carelessness and 
stupidity and told him, "If I find such as that again, the wrenches will be 
MINE."  'Came back from lunch and found the wrenches in offending/dangerous 
position again, therefore, wrenches still in my tool box.

Well, SURE!  Any schlub can rebuild an engine, but we all know how 
much fun removing seats is.


Well that's just fine and dandy, perhaps next week I'll attempt to 
put fuel in the car and will be named shade tree mechanic of the 
year.


Say, did I ever tell y'all how I amazed a Nobel laureate?

Back in the days when I worked at Drexel, a sandyhaired gent walked 
into my office.  "Hiya, Mitch! What's that?"  "Hi, Alan!  Mercedes 
carburetor.  Just rebuilt it."  "Amazing. Never could do that sort of 
thing."  And with that, Alan MacDiarmid, Nobel laureate in Chemistry, 
walked into my boss' office.

[Darren Marshall]

Ha, well imo that's amazing Hendrick... I wouldn't even know where to start.

((( applause )))

To be fair, and with my mechanical handicap of -2hrs, I'd bet it probably took 
us roughly the same amount of time ;) 

Definitely not 4 bolts and a belt, the ramp track was busted on the old seat, 
couldn't get at the back bolts for the life of me.

I pull an engine apart and put it back together and get nothing, 
someone undoes 4 bolts and swaps a seat in and get standing applause.


Presentation!  Make us feel the wind in the sails, the creak of
the ropes, the hot sun burning down, the lash on your back...
