Twice now I've been driving out in the country and looked up to see her. At first I thought there was something odd about the plane, then I realized what I was actually looking at. At a distance she really looks like a big plane.

Reminds me of the time I was at Charlotte's airport and pointed to a tail-fin sticking up outside a private hanger. I stated quite clearly it had to be a B-29. My father, who was driving said that was impossible - there weren't any left that could fly. Later he came and told me he was wrong, it was the Confederate Airforce's "Fifi" the only remainined operable B-29.
