Great humour, but what strikes me from that article is the ludicrously antique and improbably oversized landing gear of that B52. Boy have we come on since then!
The Wright Flyer still looks to me as it always did, the most exciting thing contrived by man since the wheel. But what a shame fate didn't allow Leonardo da Vinci to do it.
Still, the world was changed by a pair of bicycle mechanics and not it's greatest genius, so God bless 'em.
