This is niche, but does anyone know of any original Sopwith Camels are still flying? I know there’s a few reproductions out there, but would love to know if there’s any still able to fly.

you know who else came from chicago and was on "a mission from god"

So do we get a black pope?

Well done Agent Vance, your mission at the Vatican was a success. No one will know it was you.
