Very coolWhen I was overseas I got to see these regularly. Pretty cool planes.
Very cool! Ran a Texas Instruments Terrain Following radar with a projected map display. I was fortunate enough to develop part of the test set for same. We got to see some really cool classified movies.When I was overseas I got to see these regularly. Pretty cool planes.

Glad you weren't IN it.Glad I hadn't gotten to the "cosmetic" part of the build.
There was a small antenna hanging on the wall of the ARM Lab I hoped I could find a picture of that had a missile/fins hole in it, but no joy.Yes, indeed. In the 70s I got to fire a Shrike anti-radiation missile at NWC China Lake. The protocol was to contact the range, they would start tracking our aircraft, and once we got a lock and fired the missile, they were supposed to shut down the radar so the missile would lose lock. Altho, they waited too long and the missile went right through the antenna and destroyed it, even tho it was inert. And fortunately, that facility was unmanned.
Thanks... me too.Glad you weren't IN it.
