Two points from awhile back i'd like to comment on:
1.) The A-37 Dragonfly was manufactured by Hughes, the manufacturer was sought.
2.) The Atomic Test Castle did actually occur (most likely continuing Operation
Crossroads). It took place on Bikini Island itself.megazone@wpi.WPI.EDU (MEGAZONE 23) (01/21/91)

The A-37 Dragonfly was manufactured by Hughes, the manufacturer was sought. The International Encyclopedia of Aviation, and many other books I have, all list the T-37 and A-37 as a product of Cessna. Not one of them lists Hughes as the manufacturer. I have also seen the Dragonfly on display at airshows and it has always been the Cessna A-37 Dragonfly. Do you mean that Cessna subcontracted Hughes to do the assembly? ############################################################################### # "Calling Garland operator 7G," EVE Email megazone@wpi.wpi.edu # # MEGAZONE, aka DAYTONA, aka BRIAN BIKOWICZ Bitnet Use a gateway.

I had always assumed that the A-37 variant of the T-37 was also built by Cessna. -- ------------ The only drawback with morning is that it comes at such an inconvenient time of day. ------------
