I read Le Petit Prince in French class, great book by a great and dedicated patriot -- too rare in modern-day France.

I don't get the graphic, but if it's what I think it's supposed to be, I don't like it.

Not an expert but it looks as if the helmet is being worn the wrong way...

The woman in the graphic has her helmet upside down.
Her face is staring out through where the her neck should be.

I've seen this baby fly, close up, in aerial firefighting duty. I'd say it's the best prop-driven fighter ever made. What's a beautiful sight to behold?--- this airplane powering down to drop its load and then powering and twisting up an out of harm's way. It's got awesome power in those two engines and can maneuver as well as a mustang.

Anyway ... I had no idea he had disappeared that way, and of course in the little prince his plane goes down in the desert. I think TLP is one of the most profound little stories ever written.

OK, my bad. I thought it was the beginning of a target.
