  22. Thanks for that info. However, does "flying along with" means "chasing"?
  23. (AW&ST wrote "chasing"). Also, was the Valkyrie a "black" aircraft? I
  24. apologize for being so skeptical and stubborn, and for my bad knowledge
  25. of American and/or military aviation words, but I want to be sure...
