That would be illegal. Well, you'd better go arrest the TV networks, since they showed those videos of one flying around on January 1. No strakes, by the way. And out of the *hundreds* of photos of the F-22 that have been posted and published in the last couple of years, it's really funny that *none* of them have strakes. And the only person on the planet who seems to claim that they *do* have them is, well, one lunatic. -- cirby at cfl.rr.com Remember: Objects in rearview mirror may be hallucinations.

"John Keeney" wrote in message ... Specifically: http://www.dfrc.nasa.gov/Gallery/Pho...C79-12055.html which shows the "HiMAT on lakebed after landing." Since HMAT isn't attached to the B-52 and the scoot marks across the lake bed behind it lead directly to the landing gear we can safely say it didn't "lawn dart" on at least one flight. One in thirteen is pretty a poor record, especially when at that point there is no fix. Did you know that if your RC toy cuts through a row of cotton, you have to buy the entire row? Nowhere near the San Gabrial Mountains though. Speaking of debrit fields over populated areas, perhaps the Shuttle will come back to Eddie's. |

So then, is USC #1? Yes Tarver, they are. The formation flew once down Colorado when the USAF Band rounded the TV corner, did a turn and then came back. They had been circling for at least 45 min prior north of the mountains. The Helo flyover was the La County "Firehawk" and 2 of their Hueys when the fire fighters float ended the parade. The stealth formation also went over the Rose Bowl at the end of the national anthem. The USAF Academy Wings of Blue parachuted in prior with the game ball and the coin for the flip. Gen Tommy Franks (ret) flipped the coin with composer John Williams. Kevin F-117A: The Black Jet www.f-117a.com |

As the plane is not operational, I was surprised to see it in something as trivial (sorry) as a parade flyby. The F-22 lives just over the San Gabriels, though, no distance at all. It's not as if it came from somewhere far away. EDW is probably only 50 miles from Pasadena, maybe less, by air. I know that we always worried about the HiMAT (Highly Maneuverable Aircraft Technology, a subscale research vehicle capable of 0.9 Mach) escaping from remote-piloting control and zipping over the San Gabriels to Pasadena because it's so close. No, that would be because NASA built a crappy data link to the HiMAT; as demonstrated by it's 100% crash rate. Explain to us how two aircraft making 26 flights equals a 100% crash rate. According to NASA the only 2 HiMATs made are on display in the Smithsonian. Pretty much irrelevent, Dan. The HiMAT is a nice little bee, if one were to want to make a swarm of bees. The problem with the vehicle was electrical (data link) and that is what has robbed NASA of many successes even to today. Remember, the Shuttle crash investigation board made a specific finding that NASA's problems were partly tracable to their "failure to attract and retain EEs". What I am writing is no surprise to anyone familiar with timely information. |
