You won't fit in it?
You won't get permission to exceed the sound barrier even after completeing
an environmental impact study?
Landing on a surface other than a dry lake bed will wreak havoc with the
skid landing gear?
Most airports don't sell rocket fuel?

You should know better than to ask for negatives in this group.

The 3/4 scale B-52 you need to drop it probably would eat up all your budget anyway.

Because a 'Y 11-1/4' project lacks any 'sex appeal'.

Because you'd have to find a B-39 to launch it from.

Burt might drop it, if we ask nicely?
(And pay his rate!)

Shouldn't present much problem weight and size wize.
