  • There comes a day in every airplane build where there is nothing left to do but fill it with fuel, get in and take it aloft. Paul Dye takes us through a flight in the SubSonex jet. More here: www.kitplanes.com/turbine-tem...

      @@powertrip1050 Exactly, a flight director no less, the kind of guy (not THE guy though) who, after the Columbia disaster, uttered the words "lock the doors" very calmly... Luckily, I think Paul Dye never had to go through an event like that.

    Nice! When I was a kid, I remember following the progress of the BD-5, which looked like something a young man could afford. When the BD-5J came out, I knew it was for me, but by the time I had that kind of money, they were no longer in production. Good to see someone carrying the torch of a personal jet!
