Default The earth and moon must have been in the proper alignment...
this morning because the ocean and winds were calm enough so that we were a go for takeoff :-)
Airplane is at 52,000 ft and climbing. The ambient air temperature is a mere -85 Deg. F... (great turbo temp -- ;-p) Target altitude is 65Kft with about 2.5hrs of station keeping.

By the way, you're the first to see these pics.

Default Neither one is here. Paul pretty much never shows up to flight tests...
too much excitement for him and Alec left the company a few years back.
