"Thank you all. It is a beautiful plane, and I am proud to say that I did the machining on all of the wing panels for them. I spent six years working on these planes and it is a joy to see them flying.'

Cool picture. You should see that machine I used to machine them. One wing panel would fit on the machine and they were over 75 feet long.

I saw this Flying Wing at the Edwards AFB open house....He wasnt part of the show and the tower kept asking "what are your intentions" They flew around the perimeter and took off after a few minutes. I was wondering if they were going to shoot him donw for a while!
