God the F-8 Development timeline is depressing. Oct '47: first supersonic flight Sep '52: Navy issues bid requests May '53: Vought wins Mar '55: First prototype flight Sep '55: First production delivery Apr '56: First cat launch Sometime in 1957: squadrons deploy

So to play not-entirely-baseless speculation, is it reasonable to say there's no mechanical failure mode that would explain both loss of radio contact and the straight steady descent, and that the leading candidates at this time are incapacitation of the crew after setting an autopilot descent, or controlled flight into terrain?

Dayton and Udvar Hazy are so far beyond anything else in the US that it's not worth stressing over. There are at best, four or five comparable facilities in the entire world (Duxford, Monino, ?,?,?).

The previous winter rescues were in early april when nautical twilight was still available briefly and in september the day before true sunrise. The dead of June is a whole different tier from anything attempted before and I'm not sure how a twin otter can fit that pilot's balls.

Finger Prince posted:Just got passed these pics of the AA 767 turbine disk that escaped to freedom recently. So looks like the close-up is the left side of the fracture at 12:00 in the top photo. The other visible fracture surface at 7:00 displays the same heat discoloration in the same relative location to the axial cross section. Those oxides only form in the presence of air, that ring shaped section was ~600F when the disc let go. No signs of scoring on the inside diameter so I believe the face of that disc was dragging on something it wasn't supposed to.
