    They look like the Italian fascia symbol, not openings.

    Looks like it and the pylon and cylinder on top of the port float/fuselage is probably to keep water away from the flight instrument probes.

    From the early Roman Empire, an axe wrapped in wooden shafts that symbolized control, strength, and justice. Mussolini embraced this symbol as part of his climb to power.

    That looks like the one of one SR71 "big tail" variant at Eglin. I was lucky enough to be in the area and check it out in person. You can walk under it and into the wheel wells which is what I did...

    Bluebonnets, looks like Texas, although there are blue lupins in other parts of the world.

    I didn't know what they were but where I was stationed in Texas all we saw was dirt and scrub brush except at Hondo near hill country. Never saw the blue bonnets, though. One guy said that Texas wasn't a state, it was a condition. Taz, you had a great dad, he was a hero.

    Luxurious way to travel, but I bet you were deaf after crossing the Pacific at 120 knots.

    Yeah, I remember the itchy scratchy black wool swim suits and trunks then. Thank God for the latex trunks that appeared later.

    It couldn't have been any worse than sitting over the center section of a DC6. My legs were numb from my knees down to my feet after 3 hours.
