Ron, please post more treasures like this conversation. Without you these moments will be lost to time.

Thanks Ron, these are great!

Hey Ron, great stuff again. One of my flight instructors was a guy by the name of Paul Balf. He was also a test pilot at Edwards back in the day. He flew chase and also did helo work. Any chance you might have run into him. I know he used to go to the test pilot reunions in Las Vegas.

Correction on the spelling of the last name "Balfe".

[@ronrogers]

Sorry, Can't place the name.

[@TheEwingTube]

Thanks for the reply. I think he pre dated you by a good decade or so, but it was worth a shot. @@ronrogers

Hey Ron, I think it is XC-142 not XV

[@ronrogers]

Yes, you are correct.
