White Knight 2 demo on July 28. This plane, three times larger than

altitude.




Thanks VERY much for posting these...
beautiful!

Also, the FIRST aircraft I've EVER seen
that I would NEVER get into.

Yes, NEVER!

There are a *few* runners-up, but this
one is a NO-GO.

Well, maybe with a 'chute.

With a 60,000 ft. service ceiling, you may want to re-think the
'chute! As they used to say, the first step is
a...WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!



Yeah, I'd *like* to think I wouldn't be too drunk from the flat spins to
get out and find the ripper. That thing looks like a death trap to me.

One fusing point - no other bracing... too scary looking for sissys like
meseff... And I've been on a 727 watching up to 7 foot sections of
ailerons peel off and fall away... yawn.
