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) Jake "Mary Shafer" wrote in message ...

Joint test program on the YF22 and the X35. 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.
