Off the subject but interesting....

I recollect that Navy Spad drivers in the late 1950s had twenty four hour
SIOP missions. They trained in CONUS with ten hours missions. They carried a
shape and four drop tanks plus four types of pills to keep them awake and
alert during their mission-completion carrier landing.

What are the real facts regarding those long endurance Spad SIOP missions.
Would like to hear from old, bold Spad drivers with more precise facts.

Anybody know what the max trap of a Spad was? Don't know much about this
bird but I walk past one every day. Seems like it would've been a good
airplane.
