Would make a nice tie in to the 100 years of power flight since the
Wrights. Both flights would be stepping stones and were increased with
practice and guts. Now if they have enough confidence and go ahead and
punch on up, would really make a tale for all time but 20-30K would be
an altitudes to test most of the functions except for the thruster
system.Will keep watching in case it goes.
