Sans,

The article stated the purpose of the test not where they were on the card. It did state they had been to high speed many times. I know Ship 1 has been faster with no issues being found with the design.

Of note: Today at their base in Arlinton, Tx Agusta held a candle light memorial to remember Pietro and Herb with the previous Bell 609 team being invited.
