I want to fly one some more! Come on, Powerball ticket! Just making sure, but you really didn't mistype FL730? (oh MAMA!) Indeed not. We returned to Homestead AFB from Tyndall AFB at FL730 after running some tests against a U2 - both uf us had full pressure suits and they were quite comfortable. The Dash 19 engined 104As cruised at about 3/4 AB at 315IAS and M2.0 (Eyeball approach to best L/D). I regret we didn't assess maneuverabiity up there but certainly there was more power avalable.

... What Jet from the 50's or 60's do you wish you could have flown? Frank In order of preference, for no logical reasons.... 1. Vampire, as a child the shape just seemed magical. 2. Sabre (Australian version), brilliant looking and with great performance. 3. Me-262 with better engines, that is a classic modern looking shape. Must have scared many an allied aircrew. -- The Raven http://www.80scartoons.co.uk/batfinkquote.mp3 ** President of the ozemail.* and uunet.* NG's ** since August 15th 2000.

Oops, how could I forget mentioning the Maachi........... Loved watching the
Roulettes practice over my house....... That would have to slot in between the Vampire and the Sabre, except that I realise a Maachi ejection (worse case scenario) would take my legs off........... -- The Raven http://www.80scartoons.co.uk/batfinkquote.mp3 ** President of the ozemail.* and uunet.* NG's ** since August 15th 2000.
