SS1 landed first- WK did a flyby and a nice break over the runway before
landing about 10 minutes later.
Any report of this flight on the net?
Only from every newspaper on the planet with a web site.
and, what kind of aircraft is the White Knight?
It's a Rutan "White Knight", I guess. A one of a kind, developed
specially for this purpose. Presumably it benefitted from earlier
experience with Proteus, though it is configured entirely differently.
It was a great event to see, even if I had to take 12 hour flight across
the Pacific and back -- and sleep in the XCOR hangar -- in order to be
there.
