Oh how cool. So the arc to parabola computations are all figured. Dang, why did I think the service was so uncool in 1981 when I finished high school. Well, it was unfortunately due to some people's behavior coming home from tours and folks like Carter in office.

I would have made a good artillery man since I could not fly like DAD due to glasses. Thanks all who responded.
