Did you notice that when it was photographed against the sky and clouds with no reference for it's size, you could almost be fooled by the video into thinking it was the real thing. I was waiting for a sonic boom. A friend of mine who builds RC planes puts mini-cameras on them so you get a view from the plane usually behind it. With all the work put into building model planes that fly, I just can't stand the idea of crashing them, and then having to try and put them back together again! These guys were no amateurs! Nice runway and taxiways as well if you noticed. Way cool. He could probably buy my house with what he's got in that thing. Wonder where they get the turbine(s) and how much that costs.

:thumbsup :salute It would be hard to get tired of watching that video. Wonder what is being said. I went to the links and found some other great videos. One of a B52 test hop was good. Even when it bought the farm it looked real.
