Some corrections: - - The "Quantum Leap" main character is Dr. Samuel Becket (not Becker). - - The SR-71 in "D.A.R.Y.L" was article 2015, serial '64-17964', filmed at Beale AFB (not '64-17955' at Palmdale). Additional info: - - "Call to Glory" was made into a tv-series, which ran only one (or two) seasons (1984/85). It had good U-2 and SR-71 footage. -- I wish they would repeat this series, instead of stuff like "Babewatch"! - - There was one episode in another tv-series, starring Wilford Brimley, in which the daughter won a trip to anywhere she wanted, within the listening area of a local L.A. radio station. She chose March AFB, and got the full flightline tour, including a U-2. (She was impressed). Info from: Michael Guslick (Ralph the Wonder Llama). (I can't be sure, but maybe the series was "Our House" from 1986/88+) ? Also, the consensus seems to be that: - - "Final Approach" misused the SR-71 for advertising purposes, and doesn't contain any LADC stuff (and it was god, and not the devil). :) - - "Interceptor" is not very well liked. - -- Andreas - --- --- Andreas & Kathryn Gehrs-Pahl E-Mail: schnars@ais.org 313 West Court St. #305 or: gpahl@raptor.csc.flint.umich.edu Flint, MI 48502-1239 Tel: (810) 238-8469 WWW URL: http://www.umcc.umich.edu/~schnars/ - --- --- ------------------------------ End of Skunk Works Digest V5 #276 ********************************* To subscribe to skunk-works-digest, send the command: subscribe skunk-works-digest in the body of a message to "majordomo@mail.orst.edu".
