Favorite Quote:
"Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth ...
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God."
- Gillespie Magee, Jr.,
High Flight, 1941
"When the going gets tough, the tough get aeronautical."
- H. M. Murdock,
The A-Team
Favorite Vehicle:
XB-70 Valkyrie
The B-70 was a remarkable aircraft that advanced the state of the art in aerodynamics, propulsion, heat
transfer, and manufacturing technologies to make sustained flight at Mach 3 a reality.
