I have that book and the full image has the brown coloring. My caution about the validity of the designs was meant as a general warning - not about any one image you posted in this group. While you can point out the source of the by-passed shuttle designs in some of his work, his images of the...

I'll not comment on the technical challenges but it seems to me that the design you've posted here would be impractical for anything but research. The retractable hub, the retraction/extension machinery and associated systems would take up quite a chunk of the cabin space. Would enough usable...

Just to point out that in the selection of images posted by ozmosis, images 114-011 and 115-012 are portions of the same painting. The color has been shifted between the two images and while I can't recall having seen the original, every printed reproduction I've seen had the brown color scheme...

Thank you for that information. My feeling from the beginning was that it was something flying high. As I told Scott, I've been watching aircraft in the sky since I was a kid. The LTA pic looks interesting. The outline is still not right - the trailing edge was not that straight. What I saw had...

First. Yes, I've watched one of the blimps fly over after sunset. (Still some twilight on the western horizon but otherwise dark overhead.) I had just gotten out of my car at home and noticed it approaching along Rt. 40/I-64. As the road I parked on was separated from Rt. 40 only by an exit ramp...

Could this unknown F-111 have been a connected with North American's NR-349 Advanced Vigilante - I mean as a competing proposal? Just a thought though I'm not sure what the time frame was on the North American proposal.

Thanks for this one. A Robert McCall painting I had not seen.

I'll be seeing it in July when it's in St. Charles Missouri. Note that I said 'seeing it', not 'riding in it.' The panoramas are nice but I'm a sucker for dramatic views of aircraft from the front or rear. I love that tail shot.

Thank you for the comments. The shapes and movements described are nothing like what I saw. The thing flew straight line at a constant speed. I've watched blimps (Goodyear, Fuji, etc) fly directly overhead and this was nothing like those craft. As I said, I was able to make out the outline...

Here are the details and the attached image is one of my attempts to recreate what I saw. For many (too many) years I worked in the Master Control for a cable TV company. One of the regular tasks for the person on the evening shift was to confirm that the tower lights were on then sign off on...

Another pumpkin seed design. So. Which pumpkin seed was it that flew over St. Louis at about 00:20:00 on 01-01-2000? I'm being serious - I saw the thing.

Yes, and I see another problem with that caption from the book. The mock-up should have been said to resemble the HL-10, not the X-23A/SV-5D. (Did he mean to say X-24A?)

These are from Future Life, December 1980. From a 1976 exhibit designed by Boeing for the Smithsonian. "Air Travel in the Tricentennial 2076" The captions for pictures 1 and 2 are with picture 1 and the captions for pictures 3 and 4 are with picture 2.

Here is the World's Fair Exhibit picture from Dyna-Soar: Hypersonic Strategic Weapons System. Additionally, I'm posting a copy of the Robert McCall painting to illustrate my above comment.

Thank you. Yes. That's the bit I saw about it being moved. On the illustration page facing page 321 there is a contact sheet of 25 exposures of the thing in the process of being installed in the new location. On the preceding page are three small pictures of the mock-up from the right side. The...

I posted that picture hoping that someone else would know something about it. I'm going to have to dig for what little information I have on the thing. I want to say that Robert McCall referred me to the Cradle of Aviation Museum about that thing. (That was a long time ago) I had seen one of his...

This looks like the place and time to post this. I've had this photo in my collection since the 80s or early 90s.

Is it just how I'm seeing it, or is the canopy offset in the Concept 2 illustration?

Did Goodyear play any part in this with their inflatable concepts?

I find myself wondering how many people saw that and thought it was a movie or TV prop. Sort of a flip on the incident with the Hammerhead from Space: Above and Beyond.
