	SETP - History
		This name was to be short-lived, however, as it was changed to The Society of Experimental Test Pilots at the second meeting on 13 October 1955.
		The test pilot is probably the sole common denominator of manned aerospace progress.
		The Society maintains files of those test pilots currently seeking positions as well as those organizations with positions to be filled and assists in bringing the two together.

	F-111 First Flight Report (Site not responding. Last check: )
		From the very beginning the F-111 program had many unique requirements, and one of the most difficult to satisfy was the retention of a full performance spectrum simultaneously maintaining the capability of performing the missions of the two services, the Air Force and the Navy.
		As a means of allowing early develpoment of the high lift devices through flight test the 4th airplane was equipped with a boiler plate configuration of the fixed flaps and slats.
		Because spin studies and spin tunnel tests predicted a divergance in yaw at the stall the airplane was equipped with with a spin chute before commencing it's stall program.
