I'll give you one of my Iowa class battleships if you give me a ride in your airplane.

The Coosa River is too shallow to get a battlewagon up here...I'll have to pass.

I'll be glad to give you a ride if you gas her up. Bring you own pressure suit.

I just want a ride in the flying saucer from Roswell they have - might need a flight manual on that forehand as well.

Zout,
You'll also need language classes for that one - It's NOT written in English.

BTW: My wife was a German Linguist in the Army. She's "gifted" in picking up languages AND she was born in Roswell, NM almost exactly 20 years after the crash landing.... I DO BELIEVE that the gestation period for alien babies also happens to be 20 years! She might be able to translate that manual for you.

Coincidence?...... NOT ! ! !

A beautiful bird... it's really a shame we didn't continue advancing hypersonic manned flight.

This is exactly what is needed for all the NEW GO FAST MV owners

The SR-71 would pass everthing except a fuel tanker.

My old boat acts the same way.

I bought the DVD X-15 on e-bay a few years ago. I really enjoy it. The Air Force gave the producer a lot of support as it is full of real footage in the air and on the ground. Lots of MV's, crash trucks, B52's, F100's, a Piasecki H-21, a few F-104's...Film is in color and dates around 1961. Charles Bronson has a part as does Jimmy Stewart. Attached below is a clip from the film. I noticed it is now on TPB. The wiki says, 'As of 2011, it holds the official world record for the fastest speed ever reached by a manned rocket-powered aircraft", U-tube has a slideshow of the damage it sustained during that flight.

Mach 6.7, pretty impressive, and 45y ago.

It was more reverse engineering from Roswell. "The truth is out there." Wayne

That reminds me - where did I put my Lunar Lander Dash-1?
