About the same time I was at NCU Key West. We had the last RA5 Vigilante recon group there for missions over Cuba, etc... Totally stripped down with nothing but cameras and electronics they could do Mach 2 easy. They would takeoff full AB and head south below radar.

I worked at the commsta far out at the end of the base where they tested the engines. One day we heard one being cranked to full power in the bunker and just as we turned to look it must have sucked something inside because the entire fan assy blew out the back and exploded in a million pieces. That was one hell of a plane.
