Thanks for the video, David. I had vever seen it before, but I don't remember ever being told that my unit was going to use that bombing method.

That was a great video to watch! I had never seen that one before and had no idea that the B-47 was ever flown like that. Pretty much makes the Boeing 707 Barrel roll over Lake Washington seem pretty tame.

Something makes me feel VERY uneasy about wings with springs

I pass.

However I feel the need for a tip of the Hat to the inventor.

He had a Passion for Aviation that he kept alive. Persistent passion kept alive among the naysayers.

He was awarded a STC.


New innovations in aviation are right before us. Bring it on.
