100 years from now your great great great grandkids will say hey look at this picture, it’s from when my great great great grandpa crossed the ocean in this super old plane. can’t believe it only had two engines and used liquid fuel.

What an epic adventure

Not for $2 mil, it's not. That, is bullshit..! I don't care how "safe" a plane might be. For what this thing cost, it better cruise at 400kts & have a 2,000nm range. Because it's made from an injection-molded carbon-fiber material, with diesel engines and glass cockpits...?? For $2mil..?? You can buy a used Beechcraft Turbo P-Baron for $250,000 with the same cockpit, and laugh about it. It'll fly faster, higher, and go further. This thing is a frigging joke...!

really happy this vid is up! watching now. (removed question, figured it out)
