I dunno. A copy of Right Stuff signed by 10 astronauts is, well, pretty well beyond reproach. If this were a competition you'd have totally won it right there!

The Venn diagram of "Planes that are awesome" and "Planes that were designed by Kelly Johnson" looks almost like a circle, I reckon. Sepulveda Blvd down by the airport has a long line of "Hollywood tiles" of aviation pioneers; Kelly Johnson's is by Bed, Bath and Beyond. When I move outta here I'm making a rubbing of it.

If you haven't read Skunk Works you're missing out.
