Default Re: More Aircraft

It is at an airfield in South America, can't find the name right now though. It is very out of the way and it's where Boeing does their Crosswind testing. They don't want many witnesses if something goes wrong. Would not look good if their new baby was in a ball and then all over the news. The test pilots were earning their keep during these landings, imagine the pucker factor was pretty high.
