: Thankyou Francisco! I had a computer 'glitch'

: 'Hypersonic'.
: I also had a 'feeling' that the logo on the
: watch face said Minerva, after prolonged
: examination with a loupe.
: Still, it`s good to see other people`s
: enthusiasm.
: Francisco, you seem like a man with the
: knowledge and the know-how, have you
: considered, the B-52 carrier aircraft, Balls
: Three and Balls Eight, allmost certainly had
: some form of cockpit dash clock, or
: stop-watch timer. Where, or how do we find
: that out?
: Yours Roger.
Hello Roger
I'm by no means knowledgeable nor have I the know-how you imply....I'm just an watch/space enthusiast which dedicates way TOO MUCH of my spare time to this hobby... :-)
Regarding the B52, there's a picture on the pic database which i refered on my previous post that shows the B52 cockpit. This one, 008, has some historical and strangely I couldn't spot a single timing device...Maybe the timing was made with the pilot's chonographs (hopefully Heuers, just to get this post on topic ;)...)
Regards
Francisco
