Wired obtains a video of the latest flight of WhiteKnigthTwo: Exclusive Video of Virgin Galactic’s Test Flight - Wired - May.1.09. [Update: Jeff Foust noticed that the video is actually for WK2 flight 1 not flight 4: Wired’s not-so-”exclusive” WK2 video - Personal Spaceflight. I thought parts of it looked familiar. As Jeff indicates, the note about the fly over is also now suspicious as well.]
Virgin Galactic's WhiteKnightTwo caught mid-flight on video from Engadget by Ross Miller
In case you were wondering if Virgin Galactic's efforts at space tourism are still going strong, the company's released new footage from a recent test flight of its WhiteKnightTwo near its Mojave headquarters. Much longer and higher res than the last bit of video we had, it also provides some new aerial shots of it mid-flight. The craft's public debut will be a fly over at the Virgin Galactic Spaceport America groundbreaking ceremony next month, so until then, navigate your browser to after the break for the feature presentation.
The Red Knight - That's right, it's time for another plane from the Sun-N-Fun airshow, this time from Saturday. This is The Red Knight , an early jet fighter. It appears to be a T-33 and originally flew with the Royal Canadian Air Force (I think). Pretty impressive machine if you ask me.
The Seven from Air & Space MagazineSteve's Airshow World - 2009 AirPower Over Hampton Roads - April 24-26, 2009 from http://www.stevesairshow.com/
I never thought it would come to this, but I have decided to somehow continue airshow reports for some of the airshows that I will be attending this airshow season, and Langley AFB is among those. The reason being is that there were a host of acts at Langley AFB that were of some significance to me. Now, I've been attending shows at Langley since 2002, and have noticed many historical events at previous year's shows. For instance, the 2004 show featured a rare Airborne Red Horse demonstration, along with performances by the late Jimmy Franklin and Bobby Younkin. The 2005 show featured the airshow debut of the F-22 Raptor, while the 2007 show featured the first full-up F-22 Raptor demonstration. Last year's show featured the Red Arrows on their three-week North American goodwill tour. This year's show featured the very last public demonstration of the F-15 Eagle and the F-15 West Coast Demo Team, along with a demonstration by Art Nalls in his Sea Harrier, among others.
