My Granny used to fly an SR-71 Blackbird. She passed away...

...and left me this collection of autographed wing panels from all the fastest military jets in the world, including the Russian Ye-161. It includes almost every ranking test pilot and speed record holder in the world from 1947 through 1992 when Granny started flying stretch 747s for fun. Granny got around, and now that she's died, it's time to share the collection on ebay. She also collected coins but she was going so fast she didn't have time to pick up much except coffee machine change. I know Granny would want everyone to have a piece of this action, so I'll start everything at 99-cents except a $10 dollar bill that she kept tucked in her undies, which stars at $10.01.

(I'm keeping her poke bonnet and gingerbread recipe -- yum, baked over the dual afterburners of an F-22. Twice the Yummm....)

etc,, etc.

Ebay would never, ever condone selling fakes or inventing stories.... :)

    ...post a link so my new smartphone software can hover over it and then charge eBay the banner fee when I click on it ;)

    OK. Will do as soon as I sell the stuff and buy a "smart phone" with the profits.

    Heck, Granny used to do a barrel roll on takeoff in a 747 just to keep the cabin crew alert....I wonder why she lost so many 1st Officers?
