A sad day, in my view.
I rather liked the touch of class that was shown many years ago when the predecessor to Eurocopter wanted to do this, and the test pilot said:
"there are some things only men should do"
How long before there will be tourist flights to the top of the mountain?
Just because we can do it doesn't mean we should do it.
