I read that earlier today. Wonder how long it will be before someone builds a freeware model for FS9?

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

I don't know, but that would be cool. This is one sexy air/space craft combo.

Wow! It's beautiful! It has a certain sci-fi look to it and I love that.

Ever since I saw Space Ship One at Oshkosh in '05 it's been my dream to work at Scaled Composites. The last time I talked to them they didn't have an opening, but maybe some day.  ;)
