and of course they should all have the exact same fuselage cross-section, along with the 737 and 757.

Back to this astronaut thing, Jim Lovell was the first one to circumnavigate the Moon twice. Unfortunately the second one was supposed to be a landing but something blew up in one of the modules.

I have to mention Jim as he went to the same High School I did back in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. When I entered the school as a 7th grader I think he was a Senior at the time.

RustyB' I have to agree, but they are from the Aviation Flight Manual which is rather worrying

24-hr rule. I think my answer was closest to being correct, so I'll ask the next question.

What country scored to first air-to-air kill with an AIM-9 Sidewinder?

Iron Duke got it right. Most people think the 07 was longer than the 27.

I think I could agree with that answer, not because I've read an awful lot about these aerial clashes of around 1956/1957, but because Ive heard so much about that famous incident, when a RoC Sabre fired an AIM-9B at a MiG-15, only for the missile to lodge in the tail of the MiG, having failed to explode. The MiG pilot returned safely to his airfield with the Sidewinder still relatively intact, the missile was recovered and sent to the USSR, where it was copied (reverse-engineered) and put into production as the R-13 (AA-2ATOLL).

Now the question I would like to know is: did a similar thing happen to an F-105 over Vietnam, where it brought back an unexploded AA-2 ATOLL punched straight through its tail? I'm sure I saw a picture of this F-105 just after it returned from this sortie with the missile still sticking out from its tail??
