[pct-l] Re: Jets



I know an old guy who told me a great story from his flight-test days 
at Edwards Air Force Base:
Once in the late 60's he was returning to Edwards, at high subsonic 
speed in, if I remember the story correctly, an F-4.
Streaking southbound over the Owens Valley, at about Lone Pine, he 
said something on the right side caught his eye, at his altitude, and 
it passed out of view so closely and quickly that he almost didn't 
recognize it as a guy in a hang glider.
He was at 15,000 ft.
