John,

I flew NASA's 757(N557NA) in ATL in 1996 during the LVLASO/ROTO
project. In
fact, I was the first civilian pilot to fly it since it was acquired
by NASA
from DM/TUS. During that project, the box(rather large) on which the
HSI was
projected onto has a text line at the bottom onto which ATC controller
instructions were displayed by voice-text recognition software.
Additionally,
the HSI map had a course line continuously displayed for our course
from takeoff
to landing then to the gate displaying hold-short bars across
intersecting
runways.

We did similar RAVs at Dryden with the X-29 and other vehicles. The
thing
is, some of these things are comming to fruition, especially now that
FAA
has finally made a WAAS engineering drop. (operational as sole means")
WAAS
needed a little propping up, using the TAWS data base, but at least they
figure out a way to get it to play.

The technology from this project, and a coupla others was GIVEN to
Honeywell and
Sperry for inclusion into their systems. It was dependent on
Sat/GPS/IRS/Loran. It was an amazing project, and I'm damn proud to
have been
the first civilian pilot to fly it. Oh, I've got video from about a
dozen
cameras on the airplane and on the ground if you ever care to see it.
The
cockpit video is really kewl...

You should post them up, these ram guys will download any airplane
video.

Fine, I'll hook up the video capture and post it.

These guys use one of the aviation pictures newsgroups, if you don't have a
web site.

Just notify us here when it is available.

Oh yes, I've also flown synthetic-vision projects in NASA's HST sim at
LaRC, and
flown LIDAR research

Have you tried the latest NVG goggles? A couple of big GA pilots have
claimed they are nifty.

Nope. It's either PHX-LAS-BOS or PHX-LAX-LAS-BWI, or NASA, no GA stuff.

I wanted someone who has flown both the synthetic vision and those IV
generation NVGs to compare them.

sims too. Oh, all with proof too. Now if you want to continue to
doubt what I
am... suits me fine. If I can do that, then being typed in the
757/767 for over
7years is no big deal.

Didn't we already get past the idea that you are a 757 pilot?

See, that wasn't so hard to admit was it? Apology accepted.

We already did this.

Tell some more, your work history sounds pretty interesting.

Its more fun to keep you guessin'...

Have fun.

jpt.
