...never know if anybody was looking out the window," an air-traffic- control expert said of the two-man crew in the SkyWest Metro and the pilot and flight instructor occupying the Mooney. A priority rule of flying, regardless of whether controllers are monitoring a flight, is that someone must always be watching for other air traffic. When the two planes collided about 2,400 ft. above the Salt Lake valley, visibility was 20 miles...
...some names not fit to print, the actors rappelled down a 50-ft. tower and clambered up an 80-ft. cliff. They were scared witless by special-effects mortar blasts, booby traps and "enemy" ambushes. Dinner was cold Army rations slathered with Tabasco sauce. Sleep meant grubbing a two-man foxhole and dozing in fitful two-hour shifts, interrupted by guard duty and gunfire. And that was only prelude. Filming of Platoon commenced only after two intense weeks of slogging in the bush...
...underground tests for years. (Atmospheric tests were halted in 1963 after the U.S. and the Soviet Union signed the Limited Test Ban Treaty.) The U.S. team, led by University of Colorado Seismologist Charles Archambeau, will place digital seismometers in three 300-ft.-deep holes drilled by the Soviets. A two-man team will remain near Semipalatinsk to monitor the findings. The $1.3 million cost of the project will be borne by foundations and private donors...

The outcome was far from perfect: the U.S. lost one F-111 fighter-bomber along with its two-man crew and unintentionally caused some civilian casualties and damage. But El Dorado also produced more than a few nuggets of military gold, including severe damage to at least eight Soviet-built Libyan planes and Libyan Leader Muammar Gaddafi's personal headquarters. "We didn't do everything right," says Admiral William Crowe...
