Whaddat?
I believe Wiley Coyote is sitting on top.
"William R Thompson" wrote in message ink.net... This is capped from an episode of the original Outer Limits, "The Architects of Fear." I think it's stock footage of a Regulus 2 cruise missile, but I'm not certain. Can anyone identify this bird? --Bill Thompson |

AQM-60A
"William R Thompson" wrote in message ink.net... The AQM-60A was a high-speed target drone. Is this a Lockheed bird? I was watching a show on the History channel once that talked about the ramjet drones that flew faster than the missles that the aircraft were using to try an knock them down. Bruce R |

I was watching a show on the History channel once that talked about the ramjet drones that flew faster than the missiles that the aircraft were using to try an knock them down. That's the AQM-60 "Kingfisher." There's more information at http://www.designation-systems.net/dusrm/m-60.html It was a Lockheed missile, and developed out of Lockheed's X-7. designation-systems.net says it was too successful for its own good, and cancelled because it was almost impossible for American SAMs to hit it during tests. It had a top speed of Mach 4.3 and a maximum altitude of 100,000 feet (30,000 meters). --Bill Thompson |

Can anyone identify this bird? This is almost certianly a Bomarc in boost phase with the ramjets just starting to generate thrust. The short wing and rearward postion of the wing would rule out any of the earlier subsonic cruise type missiles. Paul I wish I could post a clip of the footage, instead of just an image. The footage lasts several seconds and gives more information than the cap. The exhaust plume from the main engine looks like the flame from a BOMARC, but I can only see one secondary exhaust trail from what would be two ramjets on the BOMARC (although one may be obscured by the rest of the image). --Bill Thompson |

Looks a little like an Army Hawk from the 1960's and 70's
