Is that 400 nautical miles per hour squared?

Reading that is as painful as hearing fingernails on a blackboard...

Nah.. The one that drives me over the edge is nuculur (phonetic
spelling) when nuclear is what was meant.

Craig -

The correct spelling is "n-u-c-u-l-a-r". Or, "f-e-a-r--a-n-d--i-g-n-o-
r-a-n-c-e" here in the USA. :-P

Apologies for the tangent, all - but it goes beyond fingernails on a
chalkboard for me... I look forward to reading (yet another)
interesting book about the U-2!

The last eight years must have been tough on you. I think
we've got it fixed now.

It has been tough wondering why the USA had such a problem with tourists
when all they do over here is get in the way with enormous cameras and
fill up the hotels. Not a single bomb.

Fixed? During the next four years at least, I'm afraid we're about to find
out what "tough" really is.

No doubt. At least the new guy won't spend so much of
his time fighting with the English language.

We can all look to soaring as solace, I hope.
