Only a few hours left on this. And my surprise over the disparity only grows… the bids for the Convair SST are now more than seven times as high as for the Super Hustler, with twelve times as many bids.
What is the world coming to when a passenger transport is more popular than a wholly impractical Mach 4+ nuclear bomber???
UPDATE: The end results continued to surprise the hell out of me. “Super Hustler” is scratched off the list of potentials. Huh.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
But when you plan taking a bevy of super-models with you across the Atlantic for dinner, then back across the ocean to your place for a “night cap”, which aircraft do you want?
Me? I’ll take the bomber. because let’s face it… if I’m planning on super-models (or, in fact, any modestly normal woman) having *anything* to do with me, that means I’m finally starting to go crazy. And since the Super Hustler goes about twice as fast as the SST, then it’ll get me there quicker.
*Going* crazy probably sucks, while *being* crazy seems ok.
I’d go with the bomber, too, even with a woman or two involved. The Right Kind of Girl would jump at the chance to sit in the navigator’s chair. Ordinary women need luxury; Real Women take risks.
Woohoo! I have a blueprint! Or I will in a bit…
