P-51's in movie "Empire of the Sun"

For an interesting story about flying in ground effect,
look for the remarks by the (NASA?) pilot who flew the Canadian flying
saucer.

I have a report on that testing - the sign off officer for the report was
Chuck Yeager! I keep forgetting to get him to sign it.

Great to see you, Mary.

Its always better to lose AN engine, than THE engine.

Great to be able to stop by. The movers come tomorrow for the first
pass, which includes all the NASA stuff, the aerospace books, and the
models, plus all the other books and the bookshelves and the beads.
There's a little other furniture, too, but not much. Then they come
back on the first for everything else, which includes the heretofore
untouched kitchen.

I stop by usenet for an occasional reconnection with the world and
sanity. I keep thinking of all the military wives who moved from one
set of military housing to another, every three years and I don't feel
so bad about this little move. (The last time we moved, rather than
adding another house, was in 1972, you see.) Compared to PCSing, this
is nothing.

I have some pictures in bound issues of "Impact" that show a bomb from a
leading plane hit the water and skip then penetrate the wing of the second
plane. Photos are from number three as number two goes into the palm trees and
the moored Japanese ship is left untouched.
