I know that we always worried about the HiMAT (Highly

escaping from remote-piloting control and zipping over the San
Gabriels to Pasadena because it's so close. So much so, in
fact,
that
we put a backup control into the back seat of an F-104 that we
chased
it with.

Was the F-104 equipped to shoot down the HIMAT, if necessary?

No. It was prepared to control it well enough to get it back close
enough for the regular system to take over.

Bull****, the HiMAT lawn darted on every flight.

Two aircraft made 26 flights. Last time I checked 2 does not equal
26.

The last time you checked the F-22 was doing fine, Ferrin.

The last itme I checked the F-22 still doesn't have strakes. You
going to put up or shut your pie hole?

Get a clue, Ferrin, some of those 19 different F-22s do have strakes.

NASA's little toy was a dud.
