The discussion centers around identifying an unknown aircraft model, specifically a ramjet UAV from the late 1960s or 1970s, which was identified as the Lockheed D-21B Drone. Participants shared links to images and resources, including a reference to the Evergreen Aviation Museum in McMinnville, Oregon, where the model can be viewed. The conversation highlights the importance of community knowledge and experience in identifying historical aircraft models.

It looks like some type of ramjet UAV from the late 60's or 70's. Any ideas?
B. Elliott said:Ha-ha! OmCheeto to the rescue!

Ha! I thought Fuzzyfelt was going to hold the record, with 6 weeks. It's been over a year since I posted the last landmark.
hmmm... Maybe they want another clue.
OmCheeto said:Do they still have the 747 water-slide?
I've heard of the place, but I actually don't know where McMinville is.
Though I know it's closer than Kansas.

BTW Always yield to unknown objects on the highway.
