![]() 10/28/2003 - EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. -- A B-1B Lancer here flies overhead during the Edwards Air Force Base Open House and Air Show. The B-1B unofficially set and broke almost 50 new world speed records during the air show Oct. 25 and 26. Record-breaking courses included three, 15, 25, 100, 500 and 1,000-kilometer speed dashes. National Aeronautic Association officials still need to verify the results, before they become official. The NAA is the national authority in overseeing and certifying aviation records. (Courtesy photo) Not sure how that relates to the FAI. If they're authentic enough for the NAA does the FAI automatically accept them or is there another process involved? Does anybody have anymore info on these records like speeds, altitudes, and weights and are these just NAA records they were trying to break or FAI? |

This is going from memory )ANd a memory kickstarted by only 1/2 a cup of coffee), but As I Remember I, the NAA is the U.S. representative of the FAI. So, for example, in the appropriate category, and NAA observer is an FAI observer. -- Pete Stickney A strong conviction that something must be done is the parent of many bad measures. -- Daniel Webster |
