| Alex Kaptonak St.Cloud, MN | The XP-77 is the coolest plane I have ever seen besides the
XP-79.It looks so fast and agile.I am surprised it failed tests.I think they should rebuild a grounded model for an aircraft display.I love the nose intake,it makes it look like a P-40.I really like experimental aircraft. AK age 12. 12/22/2007 @ 20:19 [ref: 19019] |

| lowell massett palm bay, FL | I saw the xp-77 make two high speed very low passes in front of an airshow crowd at Bell Aircraft (niagara fall municipal airport), tho I can't say for sure what year that occured. I feel sure it was spring or early summer 1945. My father was an P-39, P-63 armament instructor at Camp Bell, which was just across the street from Bell. My father worked for Bell during the war, and my mother worked at Auston constuction Company which was doing the expansion construction for Bell. During the war, I lwalked to our kitchen and over heard my parents talking about an airplane that didn't have a propeller. I scared them when I asked how can a plane fly without a prop. After being warned I never spoke of it til one day after school I heard a plane that didn't sound right, and wasn't a 39/63. That was the only time I ever saw the P-59 jet. 03/25/2002 @ 22:41 [ref: 4586] |
