As recently as 1995 the Hoffman/Markley 'liner set the E/BFS record @ 248
mph with retractable wings, or canards (sp). Not sure I'd try to steer with
one,
seems I remember Breedlove tried it on the Sprit back in '63. Your covering
over 2 1/2 football fields a second at 300, when the Hammond lakester crashed
@ 315 it was over almost before you knew it was happening.
Hey Glen, you and JD and a few others have so much history both in print and
memory, what are we going to do in the future? Are you trying to scan it and
write it down? I know it a tremendous amount of work but I'd hate to see us
lose the historic resource you guys are. The past is important in LSR as I'm
sure you know.
