MEMOIR: DYNAMITE, CHECK SIX
This book isnat primarily about relationships. Thereas no romance involved--not even any close friendships. Itas mostly about flying machines and their missions. But people are important. After all, pilots fly the machines. There are a lot of characters here that aviation buffs will immediately recognize: Lots of record-setting test pilots, and even some astronauts. Older non-buffs will also see familiar names: an aviation legend, first-ever moon walkers, a couple of popular entertainers, a famous TV-news anchor and even two former presidential candidates.

Their luster dimmed somewhat for me after I flew them. But they were certainly suitable for training Test Pilot School students to perform zooms and shuttle-aircraft type approaches and landings. Iall stop with these four. Thereas much more on airplanes inside--about 192, 000 words worth. Thatas a lot to slog through and you may find some parts too technical or too detailed. Ignore them. There are also many numbers, but most arenat important. Browse for good stuff. If you want more info on some airplane, Google her up.Reading photo-panel film was normally the job of an engineering aide. And several lower-ranking civil service lady employees were assigned to the fighter- projects section to accomplish that task. But newly-assigned flight-test engineers wereanbsp;...
