And it has lots of little stabilisers as well, but that should be no problem for an accomplished Boeing pilot as one of them who've landed a B-47 or a B-52 will know just what to do.  ;D
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Just a thought, is this the American version of the Mosquito?  Built using a supply of previously untapped labour, piano manufacturers?  Obviously the problem was they couldn't read the aircraft plans and just went with what they knew....   ;D ;D ;D

At this point it might be helpful (or not) to interject that the German term for a grand piano is a Flügel (wing)...

Would be marching to the beat of his own drum, if he didn't detest marching to any drumbeat at all so much.

Instead of basing the piano plane on a B-17, you could base it on a B-24 and call it a Liberacenator...

Hawkwind, RAW and Forteana.  It's like they cloned me (or you depending on your frame of reference).
We should probably never meet...

Would the bomb bay of a Flying Fortean have racks configured for fish or frogs?

the things you learn, give your mind the wings to fly, and the chains to hold yourself steady
take off and nuke the site form orbit, nope, time for the real thing, CAM and gridfire, call special circumstances.

Bricks maybe?

While on the ground circlemaker special forces infiltrate the enemy's rear and leave fractal crop circles in their harvests...

On a not unrelated note I feel the need to create either a sonic weapon or some kind of orgone accumulator to be mounted on an aircraft.  Or maybe a cloudbuster.  A goggle of "cloudbusting" produces many inspiring images including this one.

I just found a forum with a topic on "The ART of Flight" : plenty of art with aircraft,
some of them related to music as well (e.g. the Me262 picture on the cover of Blue Oyster Cult's LP),
some of them could even inspire some whiffin' ...  ;D
