The Supercar Registry - You Can't Make This Stuff Up!

For those of you not familiar with this particular P38, red the attached link. Amazing story and TV documentary. It was brand spanking new when it landed on the ice cap if Greenland after running out of fuel along with several other aircraft and was recovered under 268 feet of ice many years later. Take the time to read.

Glacier Girl

When I used to go to Pigeon Forge TN to car shows I sometimes would go the back way across the Cumberland Gap area and stop in Middlesbrough Ky and check on this plane being restored.
I’m not into planes but thought this story was real neat and guys from my home state taking on the work. I here it’s no longer in Ky..

Stephanie Kwolek, a scientist at DuPont, created this bulletproof material in 1965 with liquid-crystal polymers. Today, Kevlar is used in all sorts of applications.

Kinda looks like the seat insert material in my Chevelle.
