Furias on track - Aviation Airshow Air Race Photography Discussion
from http://www.aafo.com/ | Hey there race fans. I thought I would drop in and give a Furias update. All is well and proceeding at light speed. We swung the gear and flaps Thursday. Everything worked great. Cock-pit is going back together with new race canopy. Wiring is in full swing with engine delivery right around the corner. Outer wing panels are on and tanks are fabricated and ready to install. Tail cone fabrication is completed with that going off for paint. Oil tank is in fabrication now as well as the boiler tank. Should be putting those systems in after tail is painted and back next week. Bottom line is plane is on fast track to completion. Fortunately all previous stumbling blocks have been removed and plane is being swarmed by the Sanders team. Pretty awesome sight to see the activity around the plane, so focused. What a beauty she'll be. All I can say is Furias should be awesome!!!!I'll post more updates next week after more work is accomplished. We are on track for late July early August testing. Matt J

Tumlinson: Virginia is for Spaceport Lovers from Spaceports by jack@jackkennedy.net (JackKennedy) "Since its founding Virginia has always cut its own path to the future. Virginians have always had their own ideas about right and wrong, and their own understanding of what was best for their own children and the destiny of the state. And yes, although many of its people work there, several times the state has stood strong against the prevailing tides of the palatial city on its northern border," Rick Tumlinson, Founder of the Space Frontier Foundation writes in the Sunday edition of The Richmond Times Dispatch…
