The guys at Niagra have nothing on the Ditch!!!

Ya know Roccus, I like your train of thought, but why stop at the Norden? If we were to infriltrate Davis-Monthan AFB, we might be able to find that B-29 (surely with a Norden Bomb Sight, Improved) that was used to drop the x-1 and x-2 series sonic flight test aircraft. We attach the barrel onto the mother ship and are now not limited to the Bourne Bridge. Of course, we'll loose some of the potential TV coverage but we can make that up by taking the newsies up in WII bomber, and then when they're aboard, spring the news of the, er, fishing expedition.

If we time it right, we can get him in the water before the herring run (if things don't work exactly as planned, there will be a chum slick someone can take advantage of) and he'll have enough momentum from the drop that the Bluefin won't get immediately spooked.

I volunteer to fly the plane as I have several thousand hours of computer flight simulater time. Obviously, that makes me wholly qualified for an adventure such as this...

Saltheart's knowledge of dropping "DENSE" objects at the ditch could assist him in Bomb/Nav duties...

Maybe we can get Mike Laptew to free dive at the splash point and film this entire event from under water....

Just my thoughts...
