All men dream: but not equally.
Those who Dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds
Wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the
Dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they
May act their dream with open eyes, to make it Possible.
This I did.
—T. E. Lawrence,
The Seven Pillars of Wisdom

Easily the most remarkable military airframe ever built.  60 years in, and they have yet to come up with a cost effective replacement.  There will probably still be operational 130's flying in another 60 years.
