Things I tripped over on my way to the internet.

Great article. I loved that jet too. I had a poster of it in my room in high school. Here’s one great quote of many from the story:

“On a typical training mission, we would take off near Sacramento, refuel over Nevada, accelerate into Montana, obtain high Mach over Colorado, turn right over New Mexico, speed across the Los Angeles Basin, run up the West Coast, turn right at Seattle, then return to Beale. Total flight time: two hours and 40 minutes.”
