Epilogue

• The most important thing to remember about Oxcart is this: It was - still is - the high water mark of aeronautical development.

• Those of you who played a role in creating this marvelous airplane should be very proud. I know that I am. We were all privileged to have been a part of that program.

• You can also be confident that two hundred and eighty million American citizens thank you for what you all did so well, so long ago.
