Does anyone know the pilot or the experimental aircraft that was

about mach one near Del Rio, Texas, the day before yesterday?  All the

news said is that it was jet

powered and that it left San Antonio International and ended up on a

hillside at Del Rio.

Sounds like the Sino Swearingen SJ30-2. See:

Anyone else notice the next line on this news page which mentioned that
Orenda is closing up shop on the Recip. How many Canadian Dollars did the
tax payers plough into this??

30 million Canadian. Not counting the 20 million US that went into
the project before Orenda got involved. I guess nobody wants a 
Chevy big block V8 1000 pound firewall forward 600 HP engine :)

What could Ford/Mazda do with 50 million dollars to spend on
an aircraft version of the 400 pound 1000 HP turbo four rotor?
