Aircraft nose close-up...

The F-16XL was a derivative of the F-16 Fighting Falcon with a modified, cranked-arrow delta wing design. Two were built and were entered into the US Air Force's Enhanced Tactical Fighter (ETF) competition but the design lost out to the F-15E Strike Eagle. The two prototypes were eventually used by NASA for aeronautical research, particularly in the area of supersonic cruise and maneuverability.

Press play bro, and enjoy.

Pure bliss.

(Interesting how I try to post a little video clip and it takes two days to show up and when it does it's on the wrong blog. Whatever.)

I'M IN CONTROL OF MY EMOTIONS !

I'M IN CONTROL OF MY EMOTIONS !

Spock with a couple of "Mudd's Women".

Good luck with that, Mister Vulcan.

If you think about it, Spock did have a habit of getting "involved"... for instance, Leila Kalomi from "This Side Of Paradise",

I was going to say I saw a ducky and a horsie, but I changed my mind...

The Romulan Commander in "The Enterprise Incident"...

... and Miranda (well, sorta) in "Is There In Truth No Beauty?"

...all come to mind.

I guess they didn't want Kirk getting all the action.

Star Trek history...

Fred Phillips was the STAR TREK make-up artist back in the early days. In addition to Spock, he also designed the original Klingons, Romulans and the majority of the other aliens in the series.

Here...

... he's giving Susan Oliver another coat of green for her portrayal of Vina as an Orion slave girl in the first rejected pilot "The Cage".

Fred also worked on "Star Trek: The Motion Picture"...

... and shaved Persis Khambatta's head for her role of the Deltan Ilea. Looks like it might have been a bit of a traumatic process for both of them.

Ask your doctor if RyeTalyn™ is right for you.

Doctor McCoy supplements his Starfleet salary endorsing new medications and filming cable-TV commercials. Nurse Chapel does not seem comfortable with the scheme.

A Star Trek moment...

Kirk: Spock I ever tell you about the time I fought a Gorn? Spock: Yes Captain, every…..single…time…we are in rocky terrain…

-----------------------------------------

From Star Trek S2E11 "Friday's Child", which aired on December 1 1967.

Actually Kirk wouldn't fight the Gorn for 7 more episodes. "Arena" was S1E18.

Cockpit of an EAGLE from Space:1999, looking the other way from the view I posted a few days ago.

I still wonder how they could see out in the front in any direction than somewhat up. Someone pointed out that submarine crews can't see out (underwater) at all, but subs don't zoom around in dogfights like the EAGLE did either.
