On the road

I had a hell of a time driving around in a Dodge Challenger 71" model with retired Airforce Cpt. Joe Kittinger. We went straight to Edwards Airforce Base, Ritchcrest and Palmdale. Finally we've met Bill Weaver who survived an accident with his SR-71 plane at the speed of mach 3.2!!!!! His engine quit at 78thousand feet! The plane stalled immediately, felt apart and he got ripped out of his plane and survived!.... Hard to believe!!

The whole trip was surrounded by the BBC. here are some impressions!!

Me and Joe in the the Dodge, what a great colour!!
