Does anyone out there have that info and can they send Unless someone created a newgroup, it is rec.aviation.military Also of interest would be sci.military, sci.aeronautics, and alt.folklore.military You would access all of those via a newsreader, as long as your site carries them. On a Unix machine I would use trn to read news... If you are a total news novice, as your local admins for a manual or help getting set up. - -- megazone@wpi.wpi.edu megazone@world.std.com megazone@hotblack.schunix.dmc.com "I have one prejudice, and that is against stupidity.

Don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but the most recent AW&ST has an excellent article on the Skunk Works, including a poster including descriptions of all aircraft the Skunk Works has ever "officially" acknowledged it has built. Also includes a color photo of the Sea Shadow. Overall, a very interesting read. ------------------------------ From: megazone@wpi.edu (MegaZone) Date: Wed, 20 Apr 1994 16:11:57 -0400 (EDT) Subject: Re: AW&ST Article.

I've handed the three diskette boxes of trinkets to the Ops Engineer and he'll put them in the forward bay for the very next flight. I should be back to work the day it flies (according to the current schedule) and I'll start mailing them out as soon as I can. Objects and orders that come in while I'm gone will go on the flight after that. Then I'll quit the mass flyings, but will still probably be able to slip a few things on occasionally..

Yes, although that is in the current issue of "Air & Space", not AWST. ------------------------------ End of Skunk Works Digest V5 #69 ******************************** To subscribe to skunk-works-digest, send the command: subscribe skunk-works-digest in the body of a message to "majordomo@mail.orst.edu".
