Not in my budget, so Bye-Bye blackbird.

I’m not even going to apologize for that.

Now I know what excess money and an abundance of time can build.

OK, I want one. Someone needs to splurge and add camera’s onboard the aircraft!

I once brokered the Tu-144LL. We actually had a buyer, and a cool plan to fly it around the world using it for a publicity prop. Long story. My room was bugged in Moscow, the whole works. The sellers were ultimately unable to do what they promised, and we dropped the sale.
For a while, I had the fastest, most expensive item available on the internet.

Cool. A friend of mine has a smaller one that doesn’t use jets.

I has high velocity electric turbines

The video was incredible. Where due you get tiny jet engines like that? How much?

The range looked incredible.

I dont know much about this stuff but jet engines are available. What I do know is the high amp delivery electric systems are cheaper and easier to use
