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.

P: Noise coming from under instrument panel. Sounds like a midget pounding on something with a hammer.

S: Took hammer away from midget.

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?

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