GM Cars to Get F-16 Fighter Jet Display Technology http://news.yahoo.com/s/livescience/20100325/sc_livescience/gmcarstogetf16fighterjetdisplaytechnology Boyd was responsible for F16 (forces behind the F15 tried to get him convicted of stealing tens of millions in gov. property ... i.e. the supercomputer time he was using for the F16 design) ... but he objected to the early HUD in F16 ... a lot of scrolling digital numbers ... which he claimed were pure distraction in hostile engagement (converting scrolling digital numbers to meaning was incompatible tempo with what would be going on). Above also has some x-over with the C4 taskforce reference. misc. past posts mentioning either the air force missle story and/or attempts to have him thrown in Leavenworth for the rest of his life (for doing f16) http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/99.html#120 atomic History http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2007h.html#75 John W.
