For anyone interested, MSNBC recently published an article about the 747 ABL. You can read it ---->Best,Vin ScimonePMDGwww.precisionmanuals.com[link:www.precisionmanuals.com]http://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/devteam.jpg

Funny you bring the plane up Vin. I was watching a show on Edwards Air Force Base last night, and at the end they brought up the 747 ABL. Didn't say much about it, but it immediately made me think of PMDG. :)Thanks for the link.

Cool.The PMDG model made me think about creating a "Virtual Missile Defense Agency" which would schedule pilots for test flights of varying durations, and only occasional trips to different destinations. As the program progresses in the RW, the VMDA would also progress, increasing the size of the fleet and eventually conducting deployments to places where the ballistic missile threat exists. Just a thought.
