Boeing spent the 1930s-1950s trying to make a bomber that wasn't a complete maintenance nightmare, and then when they made one it stayed in service for 70 years and counting.

"In the center foreground of this 1953 hangar photo is the YF-84A (NACA 134/Air Force 45-59490) used for vortex generator research. It arrived on November 28, 1949, and departed on April 21, 1954. Beside it is the third D-558-1 aircraft (NACA 142/Navy 37972). This aircraft was used for a total of 78 transonic research flights from April 1949 to June 1954. It replaced the second D-558-1, lost in the crash which killed Howard Lilly. Just visible on the left edge is the nose of the first D-558-2 (NACA 143/Navy 37973). Douglas turned the aircraft over to NACA on August 31, 1951, after the contractor had completed its initial test flights. NACA only made a single flight with the aircraft, on September 17, 1956, before the program was cancelled. In the center of the photo is the B-47A (NACA 150/Air Force 49-1900). The B-47 jet bomber, with its thin, swept-back wings, and six podded engines, represented the state of the art in aircraft design in the early 1950s. The aircraft undertook a number of research activities between May 1953 and its 78th and final research flight on November 22, 1957. The tests showed that the aircraft had a buffeting problem at speeds above Mach 0.8. Among the pilots who flew the B-47 were later X-15 pilots Joe Walker, A. Scott Crossfield, John B. McKay, and Neil A. Armstrong.

On the right side of the B-47 is NACA's X-1 (Air Force 46-063). The second XS-1 aircraft built, it was fitted with a thicker wing than that on the first aircraft, which had exceeded Mach 1 on October 14, 1947. Flight research by NACA pilots indicated that this thicker wing produced 30 percent more drag at transonic speeds compared to the thinner wing on the first X-1. After a final flight on October 23, 1951, the aircraft was grounded due to the possibility of fatigue failure of the nitrogen spheres used to pressurize the fuel tanks. At the time of this photo, in 1953, the aircraft was in storage. In 1955, the aircraft was extensively modified, becoming the X-1E."

Barry Keoghan Movie Masterlist (With Ratings)

Recently I've been on a Barry Keoghan binge, watching multipke movies a day, so I thought I'd give y'all a list, and some ratings for the ones I've watched. I'll update it as I watch more. Please list any movies I forgot to mention!

Movies I've Watched Already

--------------------------------

Saltburn - Prime: 10/10 (Best movie I've watched in years, stellar acting by both Barry and Jacob, and the rest of the cast too.

Eternals - Prime, Disney+, Apple TV: 8/10 (Good movie but Barry has a smaller part, but he still kicks ass and It's a great Marvel movie)

The Banshees of Inisherin - Prime, Max, Apple TV, Hulu: 7/10 (Good movie but Barry has a small part)

The Killing of a Sacred Deer - Tubi, Prime(Rent), Vudu, Apple TV: 9/10 (If you can get past the very bland and monotonous dialogue, but It's like that for a reason, overall, a pretty similar movie to Saltburn)

Mammal - Soap2Day: 6/10 (Barry played his part very well but it seems like the continuity of the movie is all over the play, also starts Michael McElhatton)

American Animals - Prime, Tubi, Apple TV: 9/10 (Great movie inspired by a real life crime that features the actual criminals)

Traders - Prime, Peacock, Tubi: 7/10 (Great movie, Barry plays a smaller role but he kills it (pun not intended))

Movies I Haven't Watched Yet

---------------------------------

Black '47 - Prime, AMC+. Tubi (Not sure how big his role is in this movie)

Calm With Horses - Prime

The Green Knight - Prime (Not sure how big his role is in this movie)

Dunkirk - Prime (Not sure how big his role is in this movie)
