This just passed sort of overhead with a single-prop chase plane. The center was occupied, but even with my 20x binos I couldn’t verify that the payload was a SpaceShipTwo type. It was on a slow silent glide to Mojave Airport.

I heard the chase plane but the carrier made no sound here.

It’s Rutan Week or something here! Three days ago a Long-Eze passed overhead.

Got a pic of that without the payload? Do you know what type jets were "glued" together?
 
Found it; a purpose built plane "WhiteKnightTwo" to cargo and launch the Virgin space craft

I imagine this was a certification flight for a new suborbiter. Drop test next, I imagine. Coupla months ago I lucked onto seeing one in free gliding flight.

Living so close to major flight test centers has me conditioned to go out and look any time I hear aircraft noises.

A week? ago a B-52 passed about 4000 feet overhead. That unique wing and nacelle shape. The closest to it that I can remember is the Tu-95. Now if I see one of THOSE it’s time for a turtle whose name is Bert.

 
I just stumbled on this whatever it is and i have to say the conversation content is far better than anything I’ve been involved with so many thanks.
I can’t describe the smell that comes from my dick but it certainly smells far bigger than it is
