Waste, waste, and more waste. Talk about 'welfare queens.'

I'd rather my own son see me die on my feet as a free man, than watch him go, broken, into slavery.

Chuck would land it. No questions asked.
Funny. I'm a Marine. My hero is an Air force test pilot

True. But I feel Chuck Yeager was pretty much the epitome of flying perfection. Damn near the first man in space, riding (the x1?) So high that there was no atmosphere to interact with his controls. Broke the sound barrier. Pushed every single plane he piloted WAY BEYOND it's perceived and engineered capabilities.
Then there's the time he enrolled in a civilian aviation program just so he could scare the living hell out of the flight instructor and ask her out. Hell of a way to break the ice...

I've seen a jet engine mounted in a beetle. And two little mini jets mounted on a scooter. Anything is possible...

Something tells me the GEEEEEEEFOOOORRRCCCESSS might be a problem to overcome with passenger transport, though freight transport might be possible...maybe super duper FedEx?

Is there going to be a live pilot in that?!? Or is it unmanned? I didn't see anything about it in the article. It's a little bit of a stretch to even call that a jet or plane,that thing is more like a missile than anything the way I see it
