A mock-up of an F-111 cockpit section drops out of the bomb bay of NASA's B-52 mothership on a test flight of a new parachute system for the F-111 "Aardvark" bomber. The F-111's ejection system separated the entire cockpit from the rest of the aircraft, and a large parachute was then deployed to lower the cockpit section to the ground.

Big BUFF Bump!

Nice! How about this one? Breaking the sound barrier!

A bit of humor from the Russians! B-52s can't do this!
Cute, though...and I bet some will fall for it!
