F-14 on the History Channel's "Modern Marvels"

I know the HARV was a NASA program and the 29 at the Smithsonian is a mock
up. Read my post a litle more careful.

I do have time in the 29, my reference to one hanging in the Air and Space
Museum was just that - looking up at it brought back memories. (Poorly
worded)

As for the HARV, DARPA most definitely had input. I had quite a bit of
flight data from the HARV come across my desk. No where did I say I flew
the test program.

email me privately, (take out the nospam) and I will give you some contact
information if you like)

No, you didn't. That's not a flight article. It's a mockup. Hanging
from the Smithsonian ceiling is probably higher off the ground than it
every got before.

Been there, Seen it, Done that.

Sure.

I'll check tomorrow and see when you flew HARV and X-29, if the Ops
scheduler has time to look through the flight logs. Or maybe I'll
call the project test pilots.
