It was great meeting you, Glen, even if it was for only a few minutes. Next time we'll have to plan that better!

The two ex-Flight Systems aircraft are still sitting out on the Speedline, but they haven't flown since Dick Lawyer died. He was the principal test pilot on these. Last program they flew on was the FedEx/Northrop Guardian anti-MANPADS MD-11 flight test series.
Here's one of the tower flyby back in 2005.

Masten Space Systems has started flight testing their 750-lb thrust rocket test vehicle, with a really great, successful series of VTO hover flights today. Here's a shot...and count the mach diamonds!!

Cool Stuff Alan.  So you think the F-100 will ever fly again or be sold?

Thanks for the info Alan, With only 37 990's ever built ship 29 must be one of a very few left.

Here's a couple randoms from today...SA's growing lineup, and an old F-86 fuselage in one of NTPS's storage areas.

Gotta just love the Mojave flightline...

Calspan's 3 F-16s were all out of the barn, with WK2 getting ready for tomorrow's flight to NM for the Spaceport America groundbreaking
