| Bell X1 & B-29 |
Friggin' Air Force. Cold War thinking run amok. I would think that raising the six ton X1 from a pit would be a heck of a lot easier than raising the 50 ton B-29. Shoot, you could probably just tilt the B-29 back on it's main gear enough to slide the X1 underneath. But I wasn't there, and who knows? The guy who built the lifts may have been Senator Pork's brother-in-law, and that may have tipped the political balance in favor of funding the X1 project.
