Early versions of the trial auxiliary turbo jets fitted to B-29's proved so unreliable that they required their own ride along engineer.

OK, results.

3rd place - Buster Hyman “Ok, Tom…action! Get to the other F-84!”

2nd place - Nutloose -
“Can you hear thunder?”

1st place - Ninthace - “When I suggested using differential thrust to steer, I had something less complicated in mind.”

All yours….
