Okay, I was wrong, he didn't fly something similar but I will try and post pictures of some of the airplanes he did fly. Here is the first shot posting a pic in awhile. The F7F

Thanks Denny .. Cool Stuff ... today flight test folks are lucky to ever see a new program.

Here's the story on the XB-70



The aircraft was redundant by the time it flew. It's role was replaced by the MRV ICBM's and performance had already been leapfrogged by the A-12 / SR-71. None the less, a lot of the structures technology was later used in components of the aircraft we fly today.

Really cool. Thx for sharing Denny!

Thanks fisherpilot! Now that you've encouraged me, here's a few more he flew.

With all the news out of Paris, I was trying to find some vintage footage from the last century showing anything in the Delta fleet and ran across this ... wow an engine that makes a JT8D quiet by comparison.

I like this one a lot.

Kind of reminds me of this one:)

Hey guys loyal Delta flier whenever I can. I follow many of the discussions on codeshare and how it affects you guys. I just tried to book a ticket to Paris and it was difficult to get there without riding on Air France (even through ATL) , which I absolutely do not want to do.

I ended up going home - Atlanta - Newark - Paris. Three legger to stay Loyal to DAL and avoid AF.

Two hour layover in each airport, so crossing fingers to not missing a connection.

USMCFDX,

Thanx for your loyalty, do not see much of that these days, quite admirable!!
