    Restorer Cover

    I have a copy of Dave's '53 & the YF22 that appeared on the Restorer cover - what happened at the printer? The blotches et al would have you believe it was taken with a Bownie Hawkeye....
    Dave retired as a fighter pilot Lt Col to go to work as a test pilot for Lockheed; a major tester on the F-117; got to be Director of Flight Operations for Lockheed; access to memo pads that said at the top - From The Skunkworks.
    And he AND Jan couldn't be nicer people.

    The original picture could have easily been taken with a Brownie Loren. It is a 3X5? photo, with normal degradation from age. Took a LOT of work to get it to that point (many, many hours)

      There is a lot more to the story of the YF22 and its connection to Corvette than that picture tells. I was privileged to hear Dave F talk about it over lobster at the Marlboro National.

      SHhhh, its a secret.

        Loren -- similar here, except it's on page 7 of the DRIVELINE (Corvettes at Carlisle); the B/W pic is OK, but the printed words are washed out. Readable under strong light .
