No, it isn't. It's used primarily by the US Air Force and NASA for flight testing, though commercially funded aircraft can be tested there as well. It has a long and distinguished history and includes the P-80, the X-1 through the X-15 (probably beyond as well), the XB-70, the shuttle, and almost all production military aircraft have been tested there at one time or another. > > m. > > _______________________________________________ > Flightgear-devel mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel -- Tony Peden [EMAIL PROTECTED] We all know Linux is great ... it does infinite loops in 5 seconds. -- attributed to Linus Torvalds _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
