 10/28/2003 - EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. -- A B-1B Lancer here 
 flies overhead during the Edwards Air Force Base Open House and Air 
 Show. The B-1B unofficially set and broke almost 50 new world speed 
 records during the air show Oct. 25 and 26. Record-breaking courses 
 included three, 15, 25, 100, 500 and 1,000-kilometer speed dashes. 
 National Aeronautic Association officials still need to verify the 
 results, before they become official. The NAA is the national 
 authority in overseeing and certifying aviation records. (Courtesy

 Not sure how that relates to the FAI.  If they're authentic enough for 
 the NAA does the FAI automatically accept them or is there another 
 process involved? 
 
 Does anybody have anymore info on these records like speeds, 
 altitudes, and weights and are these just NAA records they were trying 
 to break or FAI? 
 
This is going from memory )ANd a memory kickstarted by only 1/2 a cup 
of coffee), but As I Remember I, the NAA is the U.S. representative of 
the FAI.  So, for example, in the appropriate category, and NAA 
observer is an FAI observer.
