Subject:Unrelated site I found interesting - Sorta off topic, but no PORN

I was talking (actually talking as on the phone, remember that contraption?)
to a fellow Lister this morning.  The subject of The Aviator came up and I
recalled this great site regarding a replica of the Hughes H1.  How is this van
related?  Well, since we are always working on our vans in one way or another,
I thought it would be instructive to see what is possible for the human hand
to create once it has paid its dues developing a skill.  An H1 used to be
tucked away in the National Air and Space Museum in DC.  Whenever I saw it, its
level of craftsmanship stopped me in my tracks and, other than a gorgeous
Lycoming flat six, nothing there could even smell it.
