| FEEDBACK |
Bob was stall testing the boundary layer control system and entered an inverted flat spin at about 12,000 ft. He was about 50 miles southwest of Dallas when he finally punched out at about 5000 ft. He suffered a broken leg but recovered OK. After Bob ejected, the plane recovered by itself, climbed out to the NE over downtown Dallas, ran out of fuel and crashed in a corn field in east Texas near Greenville. Speculation was that the drag from the canopy and the ejection explosion together gave the airframe the push it needed to find some air again, but by that time Bob was gone. The flight over Dallas was caught on the cameras mounted on the vertical stabilizer and made for some really good blooper film, as did the wheels-up landing in the corn field. It was serious "pucker time" there at the telemetry station for awhile. We all really got lucky that day. Bob was never allowed to forget the incident, and I never will either.
