YouTube recommended that video to me for some odd reason. After picking my jaw off the floor, I realized that in the context of the 1950s, it's not as mad as it seems. Long range cruise missiles were launched the same way. Turning a Starfighter into a manned SAM must have seemed quite logical.

Unfortunately, the FReeper that had the aviation ping list passed away a few months ago.
