FIRST FLIGHT OF THE A-12

By BILL FOX, Former President of Roadrunners Internationale

I sat down against the hangar and Lou Schalk came over and sat beside me. We joshed a little Bill Fox at Area 51 and soon I noticed Lou had dozed off so I kept quiet. Soon Larry Bohannon came over and was about to talk to Lou and then noticed he was asleep. He said," gosh, I'd like to talk to him about some things but I don't want to wake him up. After a few minutes Lou snapped to life and Larry came back and briefed him on a couple of last minute items. I thought that is about as cool a test pilot as I have ever seen and remember it vividly.
