When I ordered my copy of "It Goes Like Hell!" directly from the publisher, the lady who took my order gave me a ration of poop for pronouncing Warren Bodie's name as "bo-day" (missed the i). She almost refused to sell me a copy. :anim_rofl2:

My uncle (father’s brother) loved that show. He said he became a private pilot because of it.

English Electric Lightnings; England's aerobatic  demonstration  team.

A Mach 2 aircraft was damned impressive in 1955.

I have to wonder if they used Lucas electronics?

I liked the original T-50 better with its radial engines, but I liked the 310 almost as much.

It was sort of a dopey show, but it was must-see-TV for a ten-year-old.

Along with Whirlybirds.

The construct in the first shot made of cardboard will not fly.

Wings are weak, not rigid enough  and too small.

I like the foam construct.

No control, but it flew.

The Gen-Z narrators are annoying.

 

Of course, it needs two leaf blowers, two vstabs and a hook to be a real aircraft.

:biggrin:
