This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

Pretty cool.
What's spooky is that I can't get the last link to open for me. The FBI must have found out about it and taken off the web.
HGUCSU, you might be in trouble... is there a black helicopter hovering in your backyard yet?

In the China Lake footage, there's a shot of two aircraft; one is an RF-84F and the other is straight-winged, dark-colored and a little larger than the 84 - can anyone ID it?

No disrespect, but I'm pretty sure the YO-3 hasn't been a secret since at least the 70s.

That dark shape is a wire mesh "target". I think it's WW2 vintage....looks like a hybred "Nick" or something. That RF-84F was suprisingly complete the last time I saw I up close....but that was several years ago.

Wasn't there a modified Bonanza with a geared engine that had a similar mission?

I knew it was kicking around somewhere but had lost track of it..

Yes, it was the QU-22 "Pave Eagle".
