Awesome, made my morning. Kelly Johnson is one of my personal heroes. Cool to see that stuff he did some 50 years ago still wows people. The wikipedia article is pretty good.

If I had, I would have my astronaut wings most likely.

I've been to 54k ft in the B-52. It was uncomfortable and cold.

Great find! I have always loved the U2, and Top Gear is the best show on TV IMHO. I can't believe how hard it is to land that beast. This vid shows a few of the greatest "hits". The soundtrack is NSFW BTW.

Yes, that's a vintage photo of me and my beloved Tuna Boat. You know, the former icon of FG for years before Steve augered it after 1 flight.

Yes I do still fly, although I'm on a major break from the big stuff right now. I had 7 years of non-stop internet RC website drama under me belt, and decided to take a break.

With you T Robert. I'm surprised it doesn't do that thing like jackass 2 where they put the space helmet on with the funnel.
