Yes, the old military aviation theory that with enough "thrusties" the "draggies" can be overcome and anything can be made to fly.
Thats the thing with those old pig jets... they fling through the air more than anything.
Those wings... I would be as nervous as a long tail cat in a room full of rockin' chairs if i had to count on those things to get me anywhere.
approach speed has got to be in the neighborhood of mach 0.65 LOL
EDIT: not knowing much about the type, i had assumed this would be the only flying example. If he can manage to continuously return it to the earth in the same condition as when it left... GOOD ON HIM!
