Why thanks Tom, this is a great little site. You know where my Heart is, right out here close to the dry lake beds, WOW...
this brings back vivid memories of many days working out at EAFB.
I'm sure you've seen the movie "The Right Stuff", but did you read the book? I bet you did. The best stories in the book, did not make it to the Movie, I'm sure you already know.
So many things in that classic book, were mind boggling. Like: in the mid to late 50s, 1.7 pilots were killed in Experimental AC at Muroc. 1.7 pilots per week, stunning.
(I'm sure the Q's will come, how does 1.7 pilots die per week) LMAO.....Thanx again Tom, you made my day, now I've got to go ruin my day, as I gotta' be in Court. Cya all later. Gassho: (Formal Japanese bow of respect), as the Japanese Calligraphy reveals as my signature.
