Interesting excerpt from an article in today’s (01 Apr 2002) AVP: “One such project - an endeavor that is still classified - meant spending weekends at the China Lake Naval Air Weapons Station. The project team had to hide their vehicle when they knew that Soviet spy satellites were passing overhead. http://www.avpress.com/n/mosty2.hts Wonder if there is ever any “mooning” for the satellite passes at the Ranch? [:’) Visit http://www.b-47.com/ for everything you ever wanted to know about the Stratojet. An outstanding aviation links page also. http://www.b-47.com/links.html
During one such satellite pass, the team members decided to give the satellite monitors something to look at - their backsides.”
OT - but there is also an interesting (feature) article on the B-47.
