Thanks for posting the proof of concept links. Actually had an in depth conversation with a relative regarding this exact topic yesterday afternoon. You inadvertently helped out.

Cheers

Saw the Northrop wing from Chino a year and a half before it was officially unveiled. Good mystery until it was publicly shown. Where was Google when we were pre net like today.

With that wing design, I could see that it could. Although I have no personnel experience. It does kinda look like a C-130 and a U-2 got jiggly after an all night bender.

i worked them a few years ago at LA Center when I was controlling. Blocking 510-590, on a SAMP mission....taking radiation samples up and down the Californian coast, after the Japanese Nuclear meltdown.

This wrecked McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom was shot down on May 14, 1967 during the Vietnam War, and now occupies pride of place – along with other American wreckage – outside the People’s Air Force Museum in Hanoi.
