Default What no zzzzoom!!!


In my travels I found a Sept. 2007 issue of Air and Space magazine.
It had a pretty comprehensive article about the Rocket Racing League.
It contained info on the race course, the planes and the pilots but,
not one word or even a hint of info regarding the worlds greatest test
pilot. This isn't the first article that I have read in a main stream
magazine about the RRL that fails to mention zzzzoom. Seems to me that
he is only included in articles he writes amazing!

After reading the story I am pretty skeptical regarding the
RRL,according to the writer they will have 200 seconds of fuel on
board and the races will last 14 minutes. Another unique aspect is
the race course the pattern will be visible in only two ways. First in
the cockpit to the pilots and secondly to the spectators via a big
screen Tv system. That makes sense go to the event pay your money then
sit in the bleachers and watch it on a Diamond Vision. Think they have
some things to work out to make it a little more fan friendly, just my
opinion.
