I've been into aviation my entire life, and thought I was familiar with all the "big deals". Why am I just learning of this today?

Pretty sure I heard about this shortly after after it happened.

I was 5 years old and based on where we lived I heard to boom.

Yeah, the Conway powered 8. Great story, Southern California and aerospace excitement, I want it back.
