Doug I got such a laugh outta this. I did the same. Maybe
its a Jones thing. I was with another engineer at Travis AFB
near Sacramento. They have an aircraft museum out there,
and they have a decommissioned B52. The way that wing
wheel comes down, it practically begs one to discover the
resonant frequency of that cantilever. So, we did. Fortunately
we were not observed by the authorities. It did give me new
respect for 6061 aluminum. {8^D
Greg Burch and I were hoping you would show at Extro4. spike
