To reduce drag in the transonic speed range, a wing should be as thin as possible, and have as long a chord (front to back span) as it can

The wing is only 2 inches thick.

I had a ham radio friend in Lubbock who was a freight pilot for UPS. Another of his hobbies was soaring. I've ridden with him in both types of aircraft. Fun.

A few years ago, this particular plane was For Sale. The price was $150,000. I didn't have it. ;-(

Good Thread today.

Never read much on these units before, the always seemed to be lumped in as "Combat Engineers" when they're mentioned.

The "squabble" between the Navy and Army reminds me of the same type of "no, it's mine" squabble that the Luftwaffe had with the Wehrmacht.
