On the topic of airplanes, since we never discuss that here, what do you guys think about Bernie saying a 6T budget is not enough?  We refused to restart F22 production, which would have doubled the fleet for 50B, because that was inconceivably high.  Now they toss around trillions like it is chump change.  And what to invest in given the almost certain hyperinflation that is coming?  Commodities and TIPs don't seem to be moving.  Perhaps inflation is already baked in?

Also, is the F22s top speed really only Mach 2.25?  That seems low.

Out of Hamilton, inverted at Angels 61, between Shasta and LA...

You could have fallen out and landed in my pool!

Had no compressor stalls or anything.  I was at VMAX at 35k, think that I was doing about 1.4 indicated and snapped up on the U-2 with about a 40-45 degree pitch angle.  Coming over the top inverted, I had to hold 1/2 G to keep from Pitching Up (or down).  I could see Mt Shasta and parts of LA.  It was quite dark above me.  I let the nose slowly down to a 45 degree dive angle and accelerated to 450kias before I rolled out and came out of A/B.  I was so in the moment during the whole intercept that I never thought about going above 50k without a Pressure Suit til I was back on the ground.

 

Yes we had the long A/B on the J-57 and the B model was the fastest 101 at 1.8 Mach.  It was a Pig to fly though.

 

Never heard about putting the J-79 into the Voodoo

Luke, was the B model the one that used the J-57 with the long AB?

Still, 61k in a Voodoo…. with a J-57… That thing must have been gasping for air.  

I know with the F-4 on the horizon, the guys at Wheelus talked about a Voodoo with J-79s… did that ever happen?

So, as much as there was some hesitation from ‘List members to take a roller-coaster-rocket-ride to space, how about a graceful float to space?:

For concours-winning Ferrari Mondial money, one can take a peaceful, hours-long ride to the edge of space.

Thing with this is, if things do go awry, you could just pull a Joe Kittinger/Felix Baumgartner and parachute safely back to earth. Win-win...
