Speaking of the 121, did you see how those composite wings flex on the
takeoff?
Someone at work called it an ornithopter.

I had to look up that word, to re-member it. Yeah. Ornithopter. It
fits.
When I saw the tail on shot of the plane in the air with the two chase
planes I had this horrible instant of flashing on the problem they
were fixing last summer on the wing/body connection. Irrational but
real.
Haven't yet been able to find out how things worked out in the Moses
lake tests.
