4I-Inspiration: Test & Evaluation (1955-95)

Due to my interest in engineering, science, and mathematics, I followed the test and evaluation mission of the US Air Force since early childhood. This collection consists of aircraft involved with test and evaluation programs that predate my AFFTC service all the way back to the formative years of the US Air Force. Historical accounts and speculation about these aircraft inspired me to join the USAF and perhaps someday participate in similar programs.
