A visitor from - posted Mon April 16, 2012: If you thought this plane was an expensive white elephant, WITH, the air-to-air fuel-up, just think what it would have cost to try and develope a fuel that would power the engines, maintain it's altitude, AND it's amazing speed; WELL !!For the record, over half of the planes development funds went into it's fuel!! Besides with it's ability to travel randomly around the planet,(unlike a spy satellite) at amazing height's it took many pic's of terrorist camps while they were totally unaware.
A visitor from France posted Fri October 14, 2011: Wow! It's a shame we don't have the sound...
A visitor from Kazakhstan posted Sun September 26, 2010: And best budget money waster. This unique plane uses unique fuel by unique price. It's flight envelope includes take off with empty tanks and air refuelling. It is true White Elefant.
