& just what exactly do you call that??

"Wakey wakey Commander Coke................Got another NASA job for ya"
"Oh yeah"?
"Yeah! They need you to test a Boeing"
"No way sir - I aint no bus driver"
"Get your butt up there Coke - it's a completely different design - like nothin' we ever flew before. Thats why they need you"
"Aahhhh - they need the best"??
"No - NASA need someone who dosen't know his a$$ from his elbow"
"& nobody else was available right"??
"No - we picked you from a shortlist"
"Nice" ::)

How humiliating consigned to this rinky dink rustbucket for the flight to C.C. "I'm a legendary pilot in my hometown ya know!!!" Come to think of it - I'm the only pilot in my hometown.

Well here she is guys the Boeing BWB (Blended Wing Body) - a colaboration betwixt NASA & Boeing:
Image
Some would say she's a pretty girl - not me however:
Image
Now I know the little red bit say's 'overspeed' - but it's things like that I'm testing up here:
Image
Similarly, I had to find out when the fat bird would stall:
Image
Heading back - the NASA guys love this broad - I say they've been cooped up to long:
Image
Back home - Well it was nice to meet Miss BWB gentlemen - but I don't think she'll be coming home to meet my mother:
Image
I wonder what tomorrow will bring ::)

Cheers,

TSC.

Jeez Omag - you know I lose a day whenever I talk about these classified things. Oh well,I'm back at home now, so here goes:

There's a funny story connected to the performance of the BWB, but basically the top speed attained was - oh hell - thats the doorbell, be right back.....................

Oh hi Katahu, didn't realise you were in the neighbourhoo......................................................

Cheers,

Katahu TSC.
