If he is doing more than 250 knots (287 mph) below 10,000 feet without ATC permission he will get his tail in a crack. Most likely this is just another uninformed newsie making up a fantasy story.

I remember seeing that cute little sucker at NAS Mirimar during an airshow back in the early 80s.

Sweet!

My boys were playing in an early version of a BeDe at the San Diego Aeronautical Museum on Sunday... the prop/pusher version...

It's setup so little kids can climb in and buckle up! Same with an A4 Skyhawk cockpit...

It's one heck of a little plane (BeDe)!

I got to see the Silver Bullet at an air show in Sussex NJ years ago. Because of it's size when it did a fly by..it looked like a giant scale RC with a JATO.......very cool!!
