Absolutely. Please, for all of us here, tell your son thanks for doing the job. As far as the cannon question, it has always been my understanding that the limitation in firing a cannon has more to do with g-forces on the jet rather than airspeed. There have been numerous incidents in the past where a pilot would fire in a negative-g attitude, and the guns would jam (because they would fail to feed properly). But this may have only been symptomatic of earlier gun designs, and possibly addressed in the Vulcan. I'll ask around. Chris M.
