cLyDe,

Clarence (Kelly) Johnson 

Who also designed:

The Electra 

The Connie

The Neptune

The bleed-air blimp (gotta be the the most ubiquitous, long lived transport In history C-130)

U2

P-80/F-80

Starfighter 

Kingfisher (faster than SR-71)

Loadstar/Ventura

F-94 (Starfire??)

Started the F-117A, finished by Ben Rich

And I’m sure I forgot some others.  Guys, jump in if you know.   

As to Doug’s mention of the Clock...   its covered in one of the many books I have on the A-12/SR-71 family.   It was dead solid reliable.   Think back to the 50s and 60s cars and how many reliable car clocks there were...   Zero.

I met this collector guy on eBay.  He was the last test pilot for the B-1.  He was selling an SR71 rudder.  Reasonably priced but it wouldn’t fit in my garage - - - or on my honorable wife Terri’s “That’s OK – boys will be boys” list.  The 308 fits there as well as my TAG F1 engine.  This fellow I met has a collection of P-38 parts.  Early p-38’s had a habit of destroying themselves in a dive.  Bad for morale.

Ow.  Chilling thot tho – I heard from a fellow who lives in Lancaster, CA, looks for old aircraft wrecks for a hobby (back to pre-WW II) that should your plane go down – someone in your family or you are responsible for cleaning up the site.

 

Comments?  Factual?
