Anybody who knows anything about RVs and Rockets knows exactly which plane this is. (Didn't I just give it away with the "and Rockets" thing?)

This is John Harmon's Rocket III. I made sure to wipe the drool off his polished spinner when I left. Linas and I flew up to Bakersfield today for the annual fly-in at L45. Harmon ended up making several very "high energy" passes in this puppy. I'm not gonna go into the full specs (260mph at 75%, Vne of 310mph, get the idea?), but suffice it to say that if Harmon ever comes out with a kit for the III, I'll be one of the first customers.
