 For
three years ending just last year, Rusty Green was a Bede BD-5J MicroJet pilot
on the Joint Cruise Missile Defense (JCMD) program. According to Rusty, "We
were flying as surrogate cruise missile radar targets for the military; very low
and fast. Really a kick in the ass. Did most of the exercises at White Sands,
Nevada Test Range, and Washington, DC." If the aircraft looks somewhat familiar,
it should - it was piloted by James Bond in the movie "Octopussy". Rusty
is on the right side of the gray MicroJet below.
