I used to launch AIM-7 for a living, the really really old AIM-7. Discussions with my younger brothers have revealed to me that AIM-120 was meant for me but delivered a couple of decades too late. Such is life.

Oh BigUC I hope you read this. There is a really good book out there that talks about that. It's called The Making Of The Bomb. Very brave men. I live next door to the Hanford Nuclear Reservation. It was built as part of the Manhatten Project. It made the plutonium for the A-bombs in WWII. It also has the worlds first operational nuclear reactor. I'm very interested in this kind of stuff. Thanks for the story. <S>
