Flight!

Just a photo from the inaugural flight of the Z-16 fighter/paper aircraft outside our Fayetteville office last night.

Here are some specs:
The Z-16 is a multi-role jet fighter aircraft developed by Craft & Spencer Skunkworks, Fayetteville, AR. Designed as a lightweight fighter, it has evolved into a successful multi-role aircraft. The Z-16s versatility is a paramount reason it was a success on the export market, serving 24 countries.
The Z-16 is the largest Western fighter program with over 4,000 aircraft built since production started in 2007.
The Z-16 is a dogfighter with innovations including a frame-less, bubble canopy for better visibility, side-mounted control stick to ease control while under high g-forces, and reclined seat to reduce the effect of g-forces on the pilot. It is also the first fighter aircraft to be deliberately built to sustain 9-g turns. It has a thrust-to-weight ratio greater than one, providing enough power to climb and accelerate vertically - if necessary.

Thanks Donna!
