I had the honor of working for several years on a project of which Mr.
Reep was a member. He flew target/adversary in the seat for many
years here at the Lake and was also the pilot of the last QF-86 drone
in our inventory, which survived its final flight against two Hornets
that were supposed to splash it. Harlan outflew their missiles and
20mm rounds, and in the end was forced to crash the Sabre.
His obituary can be found here.

I guess everybody has some mountain to climb in their life.
It's just fate whether you live in Kansas or Tibet.
