[OT] Prevoz raketoplanu na zadech letadla

[Jan Waclawek]

Hej.

Fascinujuci kus historie, ako vela veci okolo Apolla.

With Conroy at the controls, the big plane lumbered down the runway and
into the air. The pair of MSFC observers aboard this first flight included
Julian Hamilton, a key manager in Saturn logistics programs, and Herman
Kroeger, a member of the von Braun group since the V-2 program in Germany
and a former test pilot. Even with the number one and two engines out, the
plane could maintain course and altitude with only light control. This
feat so impressed ex-test pilot Kroeger that he lapsed into German in
describing it to his colleagues after the plane landed. Von Braun was so
interested that he wanted to fly in the airplane. The MSFC director
crawled in the airplane and took off, to the consternation of those still
dubious about the airworthiness of the fuel-heavy airplane braced on the
inside by a wooden framework. The flight was uneventful, and informal
contract talks began the same day. There was little doubt that Conroy
needed some firm support. His [312] finances were in such bad shape that
he reached Huntsville only by borrowing some aviation gas from a friend in
Oklahoma, and MSFC agreed to supply him with enough gas to fly home to
California.
