VTOHL

I think this is Henry Lozano Jr. rendering of the NAR A, or at least I thought I did. Tony Landis describes it as a Boeing VTOHL proposal. Tony Landis is a writer and archivist at the AFMC History Office. Tony knows his stuff. I’m going to stick to my guns for now, do a little more digging and we’ll see if I wind up moving this post down the road.

Ready Or Not!

A Lockheed artist’s impression of a novel method of taking a unique and untried method of orbital delivery and making it even more unique and more untried. As my wife said to me in the giftshop of the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway, “Baby, I’ll take the car and see you up there!”
