It's beyond beautiful. Plus it's very very round.

Looks more like a white planet than a blue planet.


There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB.
The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed.
There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

Not true! It's about 42km (or 0.3%) wider than it is high.

Coolest thing I've seen in this thread except the OP, and I am not religious.

Look for me on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook or Tic Toc...or anywhere you may frequent, besides SimHq, on the Global Scam Net. Aka, the internet.
I am not there, never have been or ever will be, but the fruitless search may be more gratifying then the "content" you might otherwise be exposed to.

Yep we didn't get our first color TV until 1979. The only reason we got it then was because we moved from Illinois to California and needed a new TV. Even in 1979 those RCA TV's were HUGE compared to the screen itself.
