If I was smart I'd look at that every day for the rest of my life.
May just do it anyway!
And man, it means it's been nine years since I was there....
Thanks, Joe!

Awesome Video!!
What the heck was that Virgin aircraft with the 2 fuselages attached on a center wing?? Never saw anything like that before!
And I was disappointed for the guy near the end on the scooter... despite keeping up with the plane next to him, I really don't think he's going to get that scooter off the ground lol.

That'll be the Mothership for the "Virgin Galactic" SpaceShipOne... Which is rather a misnomer on many counts, as it can only do a parabola, not reach orbit, but hey. ;)

I need a new keyboard now after spitting coffee all over it. Quote of the day George :ernae:

I'm not sure if it was because my morning coffee was kicking in as I was watching, but damn, this video gave me chills.

Thanks IanP and jetstreamsky, I had no idea what that thing was, but I just kept thinking that if they could get rid of the outer wings, it might be a precursor to the Cloud Cars of Bespin lol (Star Wars - Empire Strikes Back reference, for those who may not get it).
daytonite_andy, sorry about the keyboard, just hang it upside down for a few weeks, and if that doesn't dry it out, we could try and get in touch with that guy on the scooter to see if he can hold it in his hands as he speeds between planes, possibly air-drying it? lol. :d

Haha the only thing better than watching videos of it is being there yourself. :engel016:

White Knight Two/Virgin Galactic was just incredible. That thing can take off like a F-22. Under 50% thrust it took off at a 40 degree angle. :isadizzy:

Dad must be REALLY enjoying it then. :engel016:
Going to be making it a priority next year to rent an RV in Chicago and drive up for the whole weeklong experience... something I had always put off but it's something I need to do.
We can have a SOH campsite... airplanes by day....Grilling and beer at night. :wavey:

Wow, that's pretty amazing! Just out of curiosity, is it completely piloted from one side, split with the pilot on one side and the co-pilot on the other, or are separate flight crews required for each individual side? That's really one wild looking aircraft.

All the SOHers should really try to meet up sometime next year. It would be a lot of fun I think!
We gotta get Bill up here for it too! :ernae:

They are both on one side. I don't recall which side, but I could look at my photos and see. There are false windows on the other side.

Thanks for the info Kiwikat, and no need to check the photos. I was just curious how that worked, and knowing how it's piloted was more the subject of my curiosity than knowing which side was actually used. :)

Well, i don't know bout liking airplanes..... only watched it 6 times in succession.... even started to love the song..
Thanks, Joe! Gotta be one of the finest short airshow video's on Youtube ! :applause:
Now let's see one of the FS video wizards replicating it, éh !? :) ( a years work, no doubt ??...) Apart from the Virgin Galactic WhiteKnightTwo, some homebuilts, and the guy with the scooter we'd come a long way re aircraft models, counting FS9 and FSX. :d
cheers,

Hi,
Great video, thanks for sharing, but has anyone notice on the second video (Ten Minutes of Airventure 2009 Part 1) the small white aircraft at the 00:30-00:45 secs stage it seems to be coming in a bit fast it then doe's a sharp turn and then you see the tail pop up so to me looks like it's nose has gone in.
