This definitely belongs in the ugly airplanes thread.
Looking at the former and latter, I'm curious what difference the top-speed was.

It may be apocryphal but I believe a calendar was required.

Prof. Propwash will now go sit in the corner with Greg for a time-out.
When the XSBA made it's initial flight on 15 April 1936, it achieved a top speed of 254mph, making it one of the fastest S/E bombers in the world at the time.
The SBN-1 was also capable of a top speed of 254mph, though by the time it entered service (1941), the SBD and Ju87D could match that and the D3A was faster.
Doesn't sound like you get too many of those. Fwiw, I thought it was a pointless sarcastic sounding comment, a bit unworthy from an experienced contributor whose opinions I usually respect. So you disliked me back, good on you. I guess we're even now.

If I don't like a post, I reply in the thread. I find the "dislike" function too passive-aggressive for my taste. I'd rather convince the audience than zing my interlocutor.
I know a bunch of you smart-asses are going to "dislike" this post, so let's get it out of your systems.

Professor Propwash is constrained from that by several restraining orders.

If I have an issue with a post, I'll either discuss it or move along.
One the otherhand, if I like a post, I'll acknowledge it with a like or bacon, depending on the appropiate level of appreciation.
And we'll avoid the discussion of rainbows for the time being...

Phrase of the week.
Not an attempt to "zing my interlocutor" , I like it, but in interest of providing some perspective from my point of view. I know well I can be a tad literal & try to take that into account. I'm also not above trying to be a smart arse on occasion but make sure such a comment is well identified by appropriate smilies/emoticons such as a & a to show it was light hearted. Not seeing this in GG's comment, my literal kicked in, which is why we are where we are. I'm happy to treat it as a misunderstanding & move on.

It's kinda cute, would fit in a cartoon or ghibli film.

It looks like something from a Tintin comic.

In its Tintin albums, Hergé used existing planes as models.

I believe that Borduria also had a Heinkel He112B, too.
It was seen in several episodes.
