    Exactly. It's a Mach 3 aircraft at 70k feet or more, not at 2k. Just like the X-15 flew at Mach 6.7 but at 100k feet. Kinda boring to watch actually.
    When the government pays, the government controls.

      if we had this technology in 1962, imagine what we have now. i think area 51 is a dog and pony show compared to what super secret shit we have working now...

        Our government is so bankrupt right now I wonder if they are training to use Ultralights and hang gliders now.

                    Down low the F-104 and F-105 were the fastest game in town with the F-111 being pretty close behind.

                    5 year bump for the WIN!!!

                      That WAS awesome! Although I've read the story hundreds of times, I think hearing it from the actual pilot was the best!

                          Yep, the story is a good read, but hearing him tell it adds a whole new dimension to it!

                              This story makes me want to reread the book, sled driver that was posted here years ago as a download. Thanks to whoever it was that posted that link. I had to see if I still had it, I've changed phones a couple of times. It's a great read.
