Let’s Go Take Some Pictures Ya’ll! from Arizona Keough by Ryan Keough - Well, what’s a good way to spend a Saturday afternoon? Some might say “lounging at the pool” or “taking in a movie.”
For me, it was sitting in a stuffy, non-air conditioned WWII bomber with dark paint, baking in the late-day sun as a passenger as we flew around in circles following an AT-6 bumping along over mountain passes as the guy in the back of the AT-6 tried to take photos.

Virgin Galactic WhiteKnightTwo Targets July from AVwebFlash Current Issue - Scaled Composites' 100-percent carbon composite WhiteKnightTwo, the aircraft designed to eventually haul SpaceShipTwo and its first sampling of some 254 people who have already deposited cash to be hurtled toward space, is expected to make its debut late next month (July) in Mojave, Calif.. The rollout will mark a milestone step toward seeing suborbital space tourism take flight. Backed by billionaire British entrepreneur Richard Branson, Virgin Galactic's goal is to sell out its first year of available flights before the first one leaves the ground. With a first flight date yet to be determined, Virgin Galactic nonetheless hopes to reserve more than 500 tickets before that unannounced date. So far 254 people have won spots on the short list by paying between $20,000 and $200,000 up front, filling the ventures coffers with about $36 million. WhiteKnightTwo will begin extensive testing after rollout, including trips to the limits of its operational ceiling.
