Why thank you Mike. That's quite kind of you, and I deeply appreciate it
believe me.
It was no big deal really; just some extensive research and development in
the early stages of energy maneuverability and fighter performance; research
testing in inertia roll coupling and departure for high performance jets;
acm and high angle of attack testing in the F14 ; you know....small stuff
like that.....stuff that keeps pilots who fly combat ALIVE in
combat.........nothing really important by YOUR standards I'm sure :-))

For which Dudley is quite well-known and well-regarded in the test
community, I'll add on account of him being too modest to do so.

We were flying tricycle Rogallo wings in the '60s, so I don't see
what's so special about them. It certainly wasn't a big deal, like
flying the X-15 or lifting bodies, although the same guy flew all
three.
