  2. hear tell that millimeter wavelength radar could track the wake turbulence set up by the aircrafts passage. used to watch the norks and chinese go bananas when the guys reconned the Korean DMZ. they never got tired of launching AA missiles in anticipation of actually coming close to them. the norks and their friends tried many different AA systems to deter the flights; it took democrats and accountants to succeed where the norks failed. kept saying something better was available to do the job, yeah right...

  3. Entirely designed by hand without computer support and flown by hand by men like those. The next thing down the pike that evolved was the space shuttle. It was designed to be flown like the Blackbird but things like air kept getting in the way.
