NBC's coverage of the parade had some tight shots of the formation -
very pretty. 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.

According to tarver's 100% crash theory the 2 HiMATs would have averaged 13
"crashes" each.

If that were the case the things must have been rebuilt 13 times each. I know
of no major aircraft that rebuilt that many times.

It seems to me they would have gotten the hint after the second crash.

It's even better. Tarver claims the first one crashed 26 times and
the other one never flew.
