Re: [Chrysler300] Area 51





i think lockheed bought m-d -- or someone did . I am trying to remember that fellow who ran it . Kelly Johnson ? Tony's plane is in a book all about it .. Called "From archangel to senior crown "
Lots of tech details ; book is from AIAA 
But you are absolutely correct that Lockheed skunk works did develop the Sr 71 under lockheed name . 
Now I am confused myself . Phantom fighter came from i thought md skunkworks . Maybe there were two ? Doubt that .. 
I will have to find out !! 
Sorry for any confusion !

Love your style Tony!

 

I have the engineering development book about that plane ,arcangel, (sp?) etc . It was , er, a little fussy ---in going off even 1 degree , off level flight at speed ! Smile

 

–maybe ---You probably can drive my car!

 

Go McDonnel-Douglas skunkworks! 100 guys, the best ----- I used their motto in my engineering (x ray co) :  Lighten it; simplicate it; lighten it again!

 

Guys, think 2200 mph and tipping the nose up or down.  Not a pretty thought!

Right. That was claimed by one pilot to have been closer to 2700 mph in the interest of shaking a missile off his tail, and was not official.

Scooped by Wikipedia! The official SR-71 record was set in 1976 at 2193 mph, or 36.55 miles a minute, or 1.64 seconds per mile.

 

So - the SR-71 was a tad quicker than a 300 SRT.

Hi all:

 

I have had the pleasure of knowing 2 "space" travelers in my lifetime.  First, Joe Walker, who was an X-15 test pilot who unfortunately died when his chase plane collided with the XB-70 Valkyrie delta wing bomber over the Antelope Valley in 1967.

 

Secondly, I first met Tony Bevacqua at a 300 Meet in Phoenix many years ago.  We shared a room for the Meet and I cannot think of a better experience I had than chatting with him about his exploits in U-2's and SR-71's.  Hopefully, for their enjoyment, Tony will someday give the Meet attendees an overview of his exciting career.  He never would tell me what the top speed is of the SR-71!!

 

GO TONY!!!  Thanks for being a good friend.
