evansb's challenge

Mel is correct. It is indeed the in-house built and designed Dryden/NASA
M2-F1 lifting body/glider. An engineer who worked on the Hughes Hercules flying boat assisted in the building of the M2-F1's wooden fuselage. A 1963 Pontiac was used to tow the M2-F1 aloft on its maiden flight. Chuck Yeager was one of several test pilots to fly this bird back to earth.
You have control.
