Is there anything the Navy can't train, even origami ducks?
Posted by floridacracker at February 27, 2006 03:01 AMThe first line of the CNN report put me on edge:
"-- Lockheed Martin's Skunk Works, famed for the U-2 and Blackbird spy planes that flew higher than anything else in the world in their day, is trying for a different altitude record: an airplane that starts and ends its mission 150 feet underwater. "
The only certain way to ensure that any means of conveyance "ends its mission...underwater.", is to put a Kennedy at the controls. That sort of defeats the whole pilotless drone concept, well, at least the pilotless part.
i hate cormorants..they eat Shiners..(dont ask)
But I love(d) the Blackbird, so its got my vote..!
