MIke Opitz's father Rudy Optiz flew those.

Technical correction: It's a rocket, not a jet. Big difference.

Sure it's not a turbo jet but does that mean it's not a jet? You get
a jet of water out of a garden hose. You get a jet of exhaust from a
rocket, or a thruster, whu not from a rocket.

To quote one source - "This broad definition of jet engines includes
turbojets, turbofans, rockets, ramjets, and pulse jets."

I was taught that a rocket carried its own O2 source while a jet
depends on oxygen from the atmosphere. Bob probably was referring to
this distinction which is correct.

Someone needs to get in touch with Jet Propulsion Laboratory and
Aerojet, they have the wrong names! ;^)

And in what sense of the word would you call this a "glider"? It
glides as well as a rock...or an F-16 for that matter.

Troop gliders were gliders-not sailplanes.

I wonder if you could actually soar that thing on a booming day in
Nevada. I wouldn't bet against it.
