One did in an accidental dive in '79 http://www.thesunlink.com/news/99nov...y/1124b1b.html Also a production DC-8 went supersonic (this was intentional though) http://www.dc8.org/library/supersonic/index.php This must have been written before the DFDR and cockpit tape analysis. Funny how they're using Hoot's experience to defend the knucklehead FO on Egypt Air. I agree that rushing to snap judgments on a mishap is mostly bad, but this one seemed pretty cut and dried. I just grabbed a link referring to the 727 dive and didn't see the author was making a grand logic leap about the Egypt Air... Elm's 72 is pretty sporty....Besides the 727 LOOKS like it goes fast. |

If you mean any airplane (I was referring to a specific A-6 I happened to
fly that you also shared) ... The A-6 was relatively new production as a 149xxx. T-34 - 140692 T-2 - 147450 F-8 - 145549 S-2 - 133335 (don't ask, I won't tell) A-4 - 150105 (an Echo ... oddly enough, my last military flight) Any of these (well, maybe not the T-34 ... they're quite popular as toys) would most likely be enjoying a second life as a 12oz container for some widely distributed brew, although there's the remote possibility they might adorn a pedestal somewhere.

UC-45J, BuNo 12388
(2.7 hours at 2.5K' AGL dodging carrion birds over scenic southern Alabama, 1/6/70, VT-10, NAS P-cola) Also similar VT-10 hops in BuNos 39280, 39947, 51112 and 51194. Taxpayers got their money's worth out of these ancient craft.

I thought my VT-10 T-2B's was old, I'll not even bother posting those buno's even though one came out of the NAM through rework to 10. Pugs |
