- ... that the Gorgon IV (pictured) was the first ramjet-powered aircraft to successfully fly in the United States?

New enough (created by The Bushranger on 4 December 2017), long enough (2,964 characters "readable prose size"), fully referenced. Hook fine, verified. QPQ done. Image has appropriate licence. Good to go. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 23:18, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
@The Bushranger: Sorry to by picky, but the article states it was the first ramjet-powered aircraft produced by the United States, while the hook mentions it was the first to successfully fly in the United States. Although I imagine both are correct, they are not necessarily the same thing. The reference you give above to back up the hook claim does not appear in the article, as far as I can see.

- @Cwmhiraeth: It does - it's reference 2, Naval Aviation News. Also, the article says "it was the first successfully-flown ramjet-powered aircraft produced by the United States", but I'll change that to "the first ramjet-powered winged aircraft to successfully fly in the United States" which reads better anyway and is closer to the (PD) source. - The Bushranger One ping only 07:19, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
