I’m leery of this report. (Not saying it’s not true, but...) This information would seem to me to be pretty damn secret. And the test pilot corps flying these things can’t be exactly large. If this info didn’t come from Snowden, do you trust the source?

I remember that press releases. That was the CEO at the time. Don't remember who.

He has a song called the A-Team and it’s NOT about this guy:

So THAT’s what Dylan’s saying?!? After all this time.

It even looks like a Geo Metro a bit, but with outriggers.

3 frames. Navy likes dual engines for power and safety. But yes. I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: it’s a ‘right tool for the job’ problem. Instead of the right tool for each job they chose a single tool for every job. It’s a compromise. Everyone gets something, no one gets exactly what they want. (Although…
