Default Perlan Climbing

Now, that is a rare problem!

"The lift was too strong to do the 50,000 ft flutter excitation test, so they excited the lift temporarily."

The lift was too strong at 50,000 feet, so they had to move to a different location so they would not exceed their planned speed at that altitude. I think that would qualify as a "Ripping" day, alright!
