Default Atomic Aircraft

Shouldn't that read, "Circa 1960 I built two different models of
atomic-powered bombers." Otherwise I have to ask, do you glow in the dark
now?



"Let's go up to the schoolyard and blow up models with firecrackers."

"Naw, we'll simply shut off the reactor core's main 'coolant valve' in my
B-36, then sit back and watch what happens."

Ok, but if I get radiation sickness, I'm telling mom!"

(...you could still do that kind of thing in the 60's, and early 70's.
Actually it was encouraged - "Don't blow those things off around here, the
baby's sleeping. Why don't you run on up to the schoolyard if you're going
to be making a racket!")
