"Speaking of the 121, did you see how those composite wings flex on the
takeoff?"

Yeah! At first I thought it was my imagination, but then I said, "NO.
Those things are up several feet from their no-fly position." Cool.

And, on the 121: I flew from Travis AFB to Hawaii, then to Kwajalein
and onto Guam in one, sitting backwards of course. Then to Japan.
Flew all the way from Japan to Midway and then back to Travis. Another
great aircraft and a great company (Lockheed) too.

And not just an aircraft, but a piece of art, like the Valkyrie and
the VariEze.

oz, who saw the B-70 fly.......once

Growing up in El Cerrito, Calif. I got to see lots of strange planes. As
they would fly to Travis. B-36's were common as Travis was one of the few
bases they used. And saw a Flying Wing a few times.
