[simpits-tech] guy wanting Me109 data !

[Matt Bailey]

It is too bad we have to use such cool stuff in destruction. I am actually 
kinda glad in a way that the beautiful work of art called the Valkyrie never 
made it into production to haul nukes.

It's not just the weapons though. Somehow only having two Valkyries makes the 
plane all the more special.
