While they are downloading, did you fly 774 as the Fred or the 221? or both?

Thanks 774

Big is often impressive

Very big is even more so.

Happy days, Joe Cotton was kind enough to show me round the beast in Sept 66. It poured fuel on the ground from various places that he said shut up when it got going. Bit like the SR71. But in the background was an X-15 - the nose cone of which displayed all the colours on the first chisel I had heat treated some 15 years earlier. I just stood and stared. It was difficult as a Brit to keep ones end up in such company in those days. Best to just say nowt. I got my own back though at Edwards in 82 but that is another story.
