There are bunches of us who'll be in the queue to land on the 8000' runways.

Whatever happened to the Bailey Bullet, anyway? I remember seeing it for sale a few years ago, along with all the STC's developed for it, and then never saw anything about the plane or the STC's again.

OK, had to look.

Palm Beach Roamer (the company that he started to make Bailey Bullets) still owns N808BB. FlightAware shows a flight from Lawrence to Martha's Vineyard 250 days ago, and the FAA database shows the "undeliverable triennial" warning. So I guess he still has it, and is possibly still flying it too.

Cool, Kent, thanks for pointing that out. Never heard of it, though I've definitely heard of HIM.

Here's an interesting article: http://www.aso.com/seller/6038/bbullet/main.htm
