I think I’ll be the first to buy one. About time, I just have to scrape together $190K+.
It is just amazing to see this bomber in this refueling video. Either from a KC-10 or KC-135, I don’t know. As it comes into view, it just keeps getting bigger and bigger, dominating the scene. What an impressive sight.
First captive carry flight of the Virgin Galactic sub-orbital rocket powered glider VSS Enterprise by the “Eve” mother-ship. “Eve” has a wingspan over 140′ making it the longest single carbon fiber component ever produced. The mother-ship wing is almost 20 feet longer than a Boeing 757.

FAA
On June 30th, the FAA will no longer issue “Taxi To” Clearances for runway assignments. Pilots won’t be able to receive a clearance with the expectation to taxi to the departure runway and be allowed to cross all runways en route. All runway crossings now will be accompanied by a specific clearance to either hold short or cross for each runway. Runways that are less than 1000′ apart may be given a single clearance.
