Nice shots, so your saying that this craft is real ???. I do like the speed it's capable of ;D. Happy flying

Ludo :)

P.S: Don't take this the wrong way and who am i to tell you, but the dimensions of your pix should not be larger than 800x600. Sorry to have to tell you that, but the Mods will delete it, because rules are rules for everybody here :-X

The thing held the altitude and speed records for decades. As far as I know, only spacecraft can fly higher and the scramjet powered X-43 finaly broke its speed record last month
