My father was a test pilot at Griffis Airforce base Rome NY in 1952-1954 and he was on the team that qualified this airplane. His name was LtCol Richard E. Haug USAF. He was probably a Leutentant at the time. He later flew the Warning Star at McClellan AFB, Sacremento CA. I remember him waving from the cockpit as one of my earliest memories. 05/06/2004 @ 12:09 [ref: 7374]
