Bless your Heart. Thank You Very Much!


Speaking of the cancelled C-132, the Soviets came out with this megapropper
in the early '60s. The An-22 was about the same in engine horsepower,
specifications, and projected performance. When it was unveiled at the Paris
Air Show in 1965, the Russkies allegedly said to U.S. military officials,
"You don't have one." The brass replied, "We don't need one."
