Updated "Flight of the Phoenix" material
For anyone who pays attention to such things, I edited the Flight of the Phoenix page to incorporate earlier corrections and make the whole thing a bit more readable.

Yes. We've everything we need here to build a new one and fly it out. Now, if you'd like to have a look at my calculations, I don't know whether you can read my handwriting.

Your theory's fine, but you get this mister... that engine's rated at two thousand horsepower and if I was ever fool enough to let it get started up it'd shake your patched-up pile of junk into a thousand pieces, and cut us up into mincemeat with the propeller.
