If this was a 1/3 prototype then you’d think the BIG BOY could easily go 30,000 ft and at least 821 mph?? BUT, they used a FULL SIZE Test Pilot – was there no “Peter Dinklage” test pilot available?

But I imagine they have in their test plan to fly at higher altitudes in future flights.

I don’t even think that clears Loveland Pass in Colorado. Are they intending this for overseas and low deserts only?
