A great effort and success for Burt Rutan.

Those Brits are some kind of modelers!


I notice there's still no word, video or whatever about a landing. Notice too that in the flight video near the end the landing gear is definitely not down all the way. Wonder if they broke it landing gear up?

I didn't see any credits on the photos. They're incredible either way, but if they're amateur photographs, even more spectacular.

The skid plate was interesting. Even Rutan's longez had the tricycle gear, didn't it? I wonder just how close the design was to flying.

For a video of the B-52 in flight:

It is supposed to be flying at a show near me in early August. I hope to be there and see it. I think the C-17 is also going to be flying at the same show.
