...take up one of the trainers for familiarization flights. He searched quietly for pilots and demanded, with reason, that they be experienced. Studying press photographs of their planes in Africa last week, a Malmö Flygindustri executive pointed out with a shudder that the trainers were so overloaded with extra fuel tanks, rockets and radio compass that they were "technically" unable to leave the ground...
...been married to his childhood sweetheart for 23 years, likes to cruise with his wife and four children on their three "yachts" -two eight-foot sailboats and a 14-footer. His column now appears in 100 newspapers, and he is embarrassed by how easily he can pick up an extra $1,100 any time he gives a lecture. Hoppe gets his ideas for five columns a week, he says, by "reading through the paper until I come to an item that I don't understand-then I explain it to everybody. That's how David Lawrence...

The plane itself has performed so well that, according to the company, Lockheed may collect a $22 million incentive bonus from the Air Force...
...cannot be arrived at simply by doubling everything involved in turning out a 100,000-tonner. Germany's Howaldtswerke was seven months late in delivering the 191,000-ton Esso Malaysia because it sagged so badly on the trial run that it had to be reinforced with an extra 500 tons of steel. Sir John Hunter, chairman of Britain's Swan Hunter, concedes that "some of our costing estimates are still largely hopes...
