Not a NASA test, an operational test, like was done with the F-84G and
F-104. The purpose was to use it closer to the front lines, where there may not be an airbase available, and still deliver a quick response. Then, fly back to where ever possible. They first tried non-powered "iron birds" that had the proper CG, and launched them off the truck. When they were satisfied, they tried it on a real airplane. On one test, the JATO bottle didn't drop, so, it couldn't land. The pilot had to bail out. North American had a 20 min film showing the tests, that was very interesting. As far as I know, it never made it into operation, although some F-104s in Germany were set up to use this Zero Length takeoff method. Ron "redc1c4" wrote in message ...

Sorry, I don't always see the intended humor. I don't look at who is sending the comment before I submit, and I don't know anyone's background. I'm sure there others who thought it was a serious question. Ron "redc1c4" wrote in message ... Ron Monroe wrote: "redc1c4" wrote in message ...
