White Knight 2 demo on July 28. This plane, three times larger than the original White Knight, will be used to ferry SpaceShip2 up to its launch altitude.

Thanks VERY much for posting these...
beautiful!

Also, the FIRST aircraft I've EVER seen
that I would NEVER get into.

Yes, NEVER!

There are a *few* runners-up, but this
one is a NO-GO.

Well, maybe with a 'chute.


With a 60,000 ft. service ceiling, you may want to re-think the
'chute! As they used to say, the first step is
a...WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Yeah, I'd *like* to think I wouldn't be too drunk from the flat spins to
get out and find the ripper. That thing looks like a death trap to me.

One fusing point - no other bracing... too scary looking for sissys like
meseff... And I've been on a 727 watching up to 7 foot sections of
ailerons peel off and fall away... yawn.
