Default Perlan High Altitude Tow Plane

Perlan is cool as hell. And I'm glad they are doing it manned, but I have to chuckle at the 'serious science stuff.' All the great explorers from years back used to admit the science part was just to get funding so they could go off adventuring. And there is nothing wrong with that, matter of fact it is awesome.
