Apparently an "experimental" plane crashed into a federal building in Miami.
Don't know what to make of it yet but I guess there is the possibility that this could have been a "trial run" of some kind by the terrorists to see if they could hit a specific target with this sort of contraption. How hard would it be to build a small fleet of "experimental" planes and equip them with high explosives?

OK, I'll have to be straight up with you. Gilcrest made a play on words. IIRC is actualy a cult phrase from a Monty Python skit, where the guy with the parrot on his shoulder goes out of character and asks, "Is It Really Cleese?"(as in John Cleese)
To: SamAdams76
The amount of time it takes to build an experimental plane makes it sort of impractical. Easier to buy a factory-built plane, or to buy someone else's experimental plane from them. Kitplanes, Trade-a-Plane, etc. always have ads for someone selling a partially-completed kit or a completed plane ("Honey, it's theplane or me!").
Experimental only means that it was owner-built, not factory built. They usually have more up-to-date technology than the factory-builts.

If AP didn't manage to be the first on the wires with this story, the local staff is gonna have some serious 'splaining to do.

Good one! I'll have to add that to my list.

I was wondering the same thing!! :)

Experimental only means that it was owner-built, not factory built. Aren't there flight restrictions on experimentals -- like you can't fly them over densely populated areas (like cities and downtowns, etc.)

Aren't there flight restrictions on experimentals No. Experimental aircraft require the same airworthiness cert that factory-built aircraft do. They are every bit as safe.
