... , has been testing nozzle concepts with the goal of dramatically reducing noise produced by supersonic aircraft. Castner and his team tested a small scale exhaust nozzle in the 1-by 1-Foot Supersonic Wind Tunnel at Glenn. Pressurized air was supplied to the nozzle, which was tested at simulated flight conditions of Mach 2. Early results are promising, and suggest that changes in ...

I was looking through some old photos and found one of Mike's incentive ride. He got to ride and fly a bit on an F-16. Pretty Cool. Well, actually he got to handle the aircraft and take it "supersonic". Very Cool. He also did the special tradition and threw up on the flight.
