I was looking at the back page of Sport Aviation with SS1 covered, and
it trigged a question. When it was at OSH, there was a group around Brian Binnie and he said that they couldn't fly that particular day since the insurance underwriter wouldn't let them. (I'm not sure that statement started from Brian, but he confirmed it (unless the brain cells have forgotten since then.)) They were able to fly the next two days. Finally, my question: Were they originally intending to drop SS1 for an unpowered flight from White Knight? I could see the insurance people going bananas over that. That would seem like something the people from Scaled Composites would try to do there. There didn't seem to be any issues when they actually flew the two ships together. That would have been even more amazing than the already amazing flights they did for us. Paul |
