Question Mark (aircraft)


Question Mark ("?") was a modified Atlantic-Fokker C-2A airplane flown by aviators of the United States Army Air Corps to experiment with aerial refueling. It was used to establish new world records in aviation for sustained flight (heavier-than-air), refueled flight, sustained flight (lighter-than-air), and distance. The records were established between January 1 and January 7, 1929, in a non-stop flight of more than 150 hours near Los Angeles, California.

Famous quotes containing the words question and/or mark:

    One should only question gods where none but gods can reply.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    and perhaps some outer horror
    some hideousness to stamp beauty,
    a mark no changing it now
    on our hearts.
