As he returned to base, Hall con-
verted the versatile aircraft for Short
Take Off Vertical Landing opera-
tions and performed a “short” land-
ing and a “rolling” take off.
Witnessing the successful flight
was “eye-watering,” said Lt. Gen.
Lee Levy II, commander of the Air

men and women of the 570th Air-
