Wrong Coordinates?[edit]

The current coordinates 32° 8′ 31.92″ N, 110° 52′ 10.2″ W seem to show the location of "Balls-Three" south of Davis Montana AFB. The real position of "Balls8" seems to be 34° 59.571'N 117° 53.005'W. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.14.0.24 (talk) 19:03, 5 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Conflicting numbers[edit]

In one place its says Balls Eight carried and launched the X-15 106 times. In another place, it says the aircraft made 159 drops during the X-15 program. Does this mean it launched or dropped 53 items other than actual X-15s in support of the program? If so, that should be explained.96.248.62.13 (talk) 18:08, 19 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
