I wouldn’t mind, as long as the plane flies again.

It’s a true marvel of engineering.

		Not a trick to make an old plane fly again. The trick is holding it together and landing it. I would imagine the problem they have with the 70 year olds they’re trying to recruit is that there are old pilots and bold pilots but well, you know the rest.

		More like Mission: Impossible. Replete with a mini-doco about how Tom Cruise literally for reals skydove out of the Blackbird without a chute and landed on the enemy rocket in one take.
