The Northrop MX-324 rocket powered test plane was flown in the prone
"head first" position.

It landed on skids.

John Meyers was the test pilot on it and commented that during landing
he had to put his chin about 1 foot off of the ground at about 100 mph.

He said it was a "mind expanding experience"...
