NOT A CAPTION

Thar she blows, mateys - a gold doubloon fashioned into the Coffman Starter Trophy will be awarded on the 'morrow, when the sun sneaks below the yardarm ~ 1800 hrs. Keep them captions a-comin' and put your backs into pullin' them oars.

Size is one thing, sure, but it's nothing without stiff rigidity.

Right, we've got the looks sorted. Fit the other two engines on it and we can launch the A380-1000.
