What does the cross-posting of this DeHavilland Comet discussion to

mean????????

It means you should have swapped your Thud for a Comet and then the
North Vietnamese politburo would have been on their knees begging for
mercy within days. If they'd tried to hold out, you could have
threatened them with Dan Air Charter flight economy-class seats and
their final ounce of defiance would have evaporated.

Is that anything like the bucket seats of the C-47?

Careful, now. You're speaking of the woman I love. I used to snooze stretched
out on those bucket seats on many a flight even if they did leave horizontal
welts across my shoulders and butt. (^-^)))
