With all those talking about perf measurement downto half a knot and arguing about how many feet wider was that type of plane turn radius, here is a wonderful document of how it really happens when all the talking is over...

Ah yes, the "aluminum overcast".
If you have not stood next to (or rather under) one you cannot get a real grasp of the scale of that aircraft. It is simply amazing.

One of the very few USAF aircraft that has the piston engines are facing the right way.

High above the horizon... in the dark of space*
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=VBnkbeGLGk4 One though to J.Adams The best book I have read on this story is this one from Thompson, one of the test pilot of the NASA (ex-Bell) . In this book you have the detailled retranscrition of radio com during the last tragic flight of Adams. A thrilling read when his plane departed at hypersonic flight during re-entry (I am in a spin... I am in a spin) - nothing he could hve done with such primary flight ctrls ~S *far far away from our digressions... EDIT: good source of info online : http://history.nasa.gov/SP-60/toc.html EDIT bis: Milton Thompson at 16min25sec here : Last edited by TomcatViP; 07-21-2012 at 09:27 PM.
