Not that I know of, I'll ask Jim when I get there.   I will be taking lots of stills and some video. Maybe I'll get lucky and they may be doing an engine warm up or something.

Yes, I believe their other two are as well.  Tough to sell single seaters today.

Thanks Rip for the info here. I e-mailed you also. Thanks LePaul for the link. I plan on going to see it. I live 12 miles from Paine Field, Everett. I believe AKWeave will go when he sees the link I forwarded to him.

I heard they were putting CJ610/J85 engines on it. Should be a rocket with those, I think they are rated in the 25-30k lb thrust range.
