Said rocket was not used for take off but was used in altitude "zooms"
as a space plane trainer. This is the aircraft that almost snuffed
Chuck Yeager and is dramatized the the film "The Right Stuff" (though
they had to use a standard F-104). Here's a great website stuffed
full of info on the project written by Robert W. Smith, who ought to
know.........
