[No title] For one thing, no metal hitherto commonly used in aircraft production would stand this temperature, and those which would do so were for the most part too heavy to be suitable for the purpose in hand. At altitude OXCART produced no more than an ominous rumble on the ground and since the plane was invisible to the naked eye no one associated this sound with its actual source. No cause for the accident was ever ascertained, and it remains a mystery to this day. www.netwrx1.net /skunk-works/v05.n167   (12580 words)

COMMITTEE ON ARMED SERVICES The committee directs that no additional funds beyond those previously authorized be obligated or expended for tests of complementary missiles, since none of the candidates provide a "fire-and-forget'' capability and are less cost-effective than the Block II Stinger, and since the Army has failed to provide a report on candidates and flight tests. The committee has seen no analysis or scientific evidence to support the Department of Defense preference not to construct a cryofracture facility for the destruction of the mustard-filled projectile stockpile at Pueblo, Colorado. The committee sees no reason why the Secretary of Defense would be unable to exercise the waiver option, based on current plans and the status of the JSTARS program. www.globalsecurity.org /wmd/library/congress/1994_r/sascfy95.htm   (18787 words)

AUTHORIZING APPROPRIATIONS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2003 FOR MILITARY ACTIVITIES OF THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE, FOR MILITARY ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01) Since procurement of no more than 11 V-22 aircraft in fiscal year 2004 would be consistent with staying at the minimum sustaining rate until that testing is complete, the committee recommends a decrease of $9.2 million in advance procurement, a total authorization of $51.1 million.

Special Hobby 1/48 Fairey Barracudda by Tom Cleaver It was also initial post-war equipment for squadrons of the Royal Dutch Navy air arm pending their equipment with the Firefly.
