Aurora spyplane
With all the news lately about hypersonic weapons I decided to write up my take on the US's (fictional?) hypersonic spy plane, the R-5D Aurora. Thanks to Paul for some inspiration on his writeup of that aircraft on his website; I took some of his concepts and some research on hypersonic aircraft and the SR-71 and came up with this. Enjoy!
(My website is currently transtioning to a new host, so this document won't be up there for a little while).

I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for 12 hours. When it was all over, I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory. Someday this war's gonna end...
