[Ducati] rumours

[George Betzhold]

Hey Art -
I was there also. I have got a series of mpgs of the SR71's taxi to takeoff
and shot on a fly-by. Got a great shot of Yeager (about 5 feet from him)
returning to the show area after breaking the barrier.

Hi Rich

I attended the 1997 50th anniversary of the breaking of the sound barrier at
Edward AFB. I've been to the Reno Air Races since I was 11. I've seen many a
show and have just about seen them all. Great place to see go fast warbirds.
Edwards was the icing on the cake! Everything we as tax payer pay for was in
the air that day! C17, B-1, B-2, F117, F-111, F-14,15,16, C-130, C5a, SR71,
they even had the Space Shuttle 747 to walk through, as well as an Old
Lockheed Connie! You think the B-1 was a thrill? How about a SR71 leaving
the ground in full afterburner mode and heading skyward until it's out of
sight? That took all of about 30 seconds! It then did a fly over at 30,000ft
and popped the sound barrier at Mach 2 .
