Hello,

not very politically correct, nowadays, when we're told to think green...
Anyway, no regrets, that was great to see, hear, and smell!


Not to be a pedant, but isn't that RATO rather than JATO ?

Yes, I believe you're right
But, JATO seems more often seen, doesn't it ?
And, above all, "RATO" does sound bad in French (see enclosed cliparts)
Less glamourous...


WoW! Such a thin fuselage cross section! So aerodynamic! I'll bet if you
strapped on a rocket it would clear Mach 3 in no time..... ;-)
