The sad part in viewing such a mechanical wonder if the USA even has the skills, machinery, and aptitude to turn out such a stunning product. Doubtful.

i think we have the engineers to design something as advanced to today's technology as that was to yesteryear's. but we don't have the facilities to mass produce things like we did back then.
some people might say things are "going to hell in a handcart". i disagree.
i think we've parked the cart, and are standing on the stoop.

Anyone who's seen the innards of a modern turbine engine would know we still have a few clever engineers and talented machinists left.
