Neato Convair 880! They and the 990 were well built aircraft. Couldn't compete with the Boeing 707's and Douglas DC-8's for a variety of reasons. EDIT: Nice trio of Convair jets. F-102, B-58 and 880, I just figured that out, nice.

They were fuel hogs (and had a lower passenger capacity than the 707 or DC-8) -- but they were beautiful (and fast) airplanes. My favorites, aesthetically, of the early jetliners. Maybe my favorites, period. The 990 used essentially the same engine as the B-58 Hustler.

I liked all of the early ones. The slightly later Lockheed L-1011 may be an overall favorite. Rolls-Royce engines!

Yes, sort of. One sees partial albinos, e.g., of birds. The phenomenon is called leucism, and it's genetic, like albinism, but it is not a failure to make melanin (or other pigments) but a failure in the "distribution system".

Partial albino robin that has frequented my garden the last two years. Pics are from last Summer

Gynandromorph. I did not know the nomenclature for birds like this until moments ago.
