Bendix Test Flight Crew 2

In 1966, Bendix Test Flight Crew number 2 flew the first test flight of the Apollo Range Instrumentation Aircraft. The test flight occurred on ARIA aircraft 60-0372. I had the privilege of working with both Frank Tatum, known as Mr. Antenna, and Billy Rowell in the 1970s.
