Glenn flew a second Korean combat tour on an interservice exchange program with the United States Air Force, 4th Fighter Wing. He logged 27 missions in the faster F-86F Sabre, and shot down three MiG-15s near the Yalu River in the final days before the ceasefire.

1957 Ferrari 625 TRC. Easily one of the most beautiful cars of all time, even if it lives in the shadow of the 250.

Doesn't seem so. I'd bet a lot of these racers were plumbers.
