Nonplanar
You've got it! The Northrop N-9M was built as a demonstrator to prove the aerodynamics of a flying wing for what would later become the YB-36 and much later the B-2. Sadly, the last remaining example of the N-9M crashed approximately 6 months ago, killing its pilot and sole occupant. I have a...- Eugene

ACME ACME Conspiracies
I thought that old chart was posted merely as a snapshot in history, but if we're updating it to reflect current status, the long [mercenary work] link attached to my name can be removed as well. -

(I think, besides the V/U directional antennas, I'm going to try and squeeze an L band antenna somewhere up there too. Will be fun for NOAA satellites if nothing else.) -
[Chat Log] April-May 2019
(Nope, no underlings to be had. Just me and whatever I can make work.) -
[Chat Log] April-May 2019
(Nah, they all have too much variation in scope. Last thing I want to do is introduce mission creep to a project, which would ensure it never gets done.) -
[Chat Log] April-May 2019
(Which, despite already having several projects running, will be fun. I have a few ideas for additional satellite goodness.) -

(Actually, the way they worded it was 'You're now in charge of getting the satellite station running') -

(I didn't get the story, but the membership director must have done something to seriously piss off the rest of the board at the executive meeting, because the board just offloaded a good chunk of his duties to me. -

I think for the nonplanar game I'm going to stick with one aircraft a day. -
Nonplanar
That's it. The PBY Catalina was a multi role aircraft used for everything from anti-submarine to search and rescue. As a fun little aside, an aviation museum near me is actively restoring one to airworthy status. Yet another technology demonstrator, in this case to show the promise of pure...- Eugene

Deduction Heavy is the head
To the best of my knowledge, no. There is currently a Netflix series based on this book, but I do not believe it has portrayed her to date. 11 questions left.- Eugene

Lucy:
Hey hey! Carmen Sandiego got a mention on Jeopardy last night!! Also I didn't know Carmen and Barbie used to be friends. LOL. Post by @fycarmensandiego · 1 video -
Jade:
As if they were friends, Lucy, Barbie is created on March 9, 1959, for Mattel, while Carmen is created on March 1, 1985, for Broderbund Software. -
Jade:
However, I've found it something with a software company called SoftKey International in which they did trade name the Learning Company after taking it over in 1995 and made a worst deal with Mattel in 1999.

I just realized that I could buy some different kinds of MRE's from Amazon and it reminded me how my father use to talk about them. My curiosity is getting the better of me because now I want to try them.....
