Just a thought. See if any of the Air Force Now segments from that period have been digitized and placed on the web. We saw a lot of the Air Force Now installments on 16mm in an explorer post back in the 70s and I think there was some of what you're looking for in that series.

Boeing had their F/A-18E/F/G simulator demonstration trailer at KCPS for the Youth Aviation Day a few weeks back. Most, if not all, of the photo posters on the walls inside were of 18s with these tanks. Sadly, they weren't giving out copies of those posters.

Or was that picture done to give the Aviators a reason to get excited about the plane? See, it will land on a carrier.

I can't help thinking this could be taken to the next step.

Another image going around making light of the situation. I have to admit that this one did make me laugh.

I didn't know Bruce Willis was in B-5.

Just to illustrate this info from archipeppe, here is a frame grab of what looks to be a demonstrator dressed in Vatican markings for the movie The Shoes of the Fisherman.

An involved discussion on this question took place on a Stargate SG-1 site many years ago. Something offered to support the recovered pod suggestion is that a behind the scenes photo on page 153 of the revised edition of Piers Bizony's 2001 Filming The Future shows Bowman at a Discovery...

Here is a low-res copy of the drawing. The original is owned by a retired Vought employee and Mark Nankivil arranged to make a large format scan of it during our trip to Dallas last summer. Mark told me to go ahead and post this copy here. A correction to my first post. The owner of the drawing...

I'm re-posting this in a new thread to give this design a more proper identification and to have the thread ready when additional information (and hopefully the drawing) can be made available. I've done a few searches here on Dee Howard and haven't come up with anything. Should there be an...

These three are taken from the selection of example Arcologies. About these scans. The book is oversize and I had to select portions of pages to scan. Additionally, as you can see from these cropped images, there is a lot of overlap and confusion in this part of the book.

This is the first of two batches of scans from the book Arcology: The City In The Image Of Man. These first three are from the first part of the book where he explains his theories. Clear and concise. Right?

This one is a Dee Howard design. Estimating from the dimensions in the drawing I've seen, but been asked not to share, this thing could have carried the Saturn V first or second stage. The cockpit would have been either a DC-7 or C-97 forward fuselage. The wings and engines would have been from...

I've dug out my copy of Paolo Soleri's book. (Soft cover, so I got it in 1973.) Looking through it brings back memories of trying to read it as a fourteen year-old. Still seems confusing to me today and I should point out that Peter Blake, who wrote the forward to the book, admits within that...

That might seem sustainable at first, but it can hardly be called a thriving healthy city complex. Shades of The Matrix here. More than Matrix, just the writeup on this story at your link has me thinking of Justin Cord's visit to the V.R. Museum in The Unincorporated Man by Dani Kollin and Eytan...

I had to take some time to think about this one. What is the down side of those upmarket accommodation utopias? Who maintains those conditions? (If someone is spending a small - or large - fortune to live there, he or she is not going to want DIY repairs.) Where do the workers, the repairmen and...

I contend that the best fiction (and some of the rest) deals with our truths, so I have no problem with bringing fictional examples into this discussion - as long as they are identified as fictional. While the movies Brazil and The Fifth Element were not set in Arcologies, the nightmare...

Is it me, or have the plans become less ambitious than those illustrated in that 1969 M.I.T. book Arcology The City In The Image Of Man? A simple representation of the Empire State Building was used for scale comparison in many of the drawings and let me tell you, those things would have been...

Revell or Airfix Draken fuselage between wings from an off scale B-58, F-18 horizontals, and that odd little tail-end part from a Testors Stealth Fighter kit - though, I can't remember if it's the U.S. one or the Soviet one. Not a 'What-if' as much as a 'well, this one looks cool, lets go with...

Second batch.
