Aero-News Quote of the Day

Source: Former astronaut Gordon Fullerton, who piloted NASA's venerable B-52B, Balls Eight, on its last operational flight last month. The aircraft that carried the X-15 and the X-24B aloft fulfilled its last mission by launching the hypersonic X-43A on a flight that broke Mach 10. Balls Eight will make one last flight -- to a museum. Which one has not yet been announced.
