There are no chase planes, since the Shuttle is "operational." I don't think the chases were supersonic anyway. I've loaned my SETP proceedings with the paper about chasing the Shuttle. When it comes back, I'll let you know. One boom is from the nose, one is from the wings. You may have already seen this, but our system got weird and I think this didn't make it. -- M F Shafer NASA Ames-Dryden Flight Research Facility shafer@elxsi.dfrf.nasa.gov or shafer@drynix.dfrf.nasa.gov NASA management doesn't know what I'm doing and I don't know what they're doing, and everybody's happy this way.
