Yeah, hey didn't work too well. I think both crashed.

Three of five Bede BD-10s crashed.

N2BD: original prototype, owned by Fuel Fresh in Nevada, unflyable
N9WZ: Peregrine's kit, crashed
N62PJ: Peregrine's kit, crashed
N700JP: Jim Priebe's kit, sold to Monitor Jet, now privately owned in
Canada, unflyable
N7FF: Frank Everett's kit, crashed

I'm sorry, but I think ya gotta be nuts to jump into a prototype GA jet and
become an amateur test pilot. I'll bet the families of the dead pilots
agree with me.

"The second kit-built aircraft, N7FF, broke up in mid-air off the southern
coast of California in 2003 after the pilot had radioed a MAYDAY call in
which he stated that the aircraft "was disintegrating".

I am cognizant of the actual text of the regulations, in which a distinction
between the Administrator and ATC is unambiguously made.

And BTW, you're not cognizent of which way up is.

Ah, OK. I didn't know that any kits had been sold, let alone finished. I
thought the accidents testing had killed it completely. Well, the remaining
two don't fly, so I guess it did!

Death trap.

Did you know that Bede design suggested that a turbofan powered car
could out perform direct drive in fuel economy? Makes you wonder what
book of aeronautics he worked from.


Yipes! Kind of a shame about Jim Bede, really. He had some interesting
ideas.
Nothing he ever did panned out unless you consider the AA1 a success.

Yeah, right, Like ATC is not a subordinate function to the FAA
Administrator.

I have to say I'm kinda disappointed this game seems to be petering out!

If it is subordinate, then it cannot necessarily do all that the Administrator
can do. QED.

If delegated by the Administrator, ATC sure can, moron.

If by QED you mean you don't know what you are talking about.
