Nice. The hangar should be much cleaner with all of the gas leaking out instead of the nasty jet fuel everywhere.

There are system accuracy, deviation reporting, and maintenance requirements for RVSM. But, unlike ETOPS, there's no non-RVSM parts list for a given aircraft. The aircraft I work on that are ETOPS can use both ETOPS or non-ETOPS part, maintenance just has to downgrade the aircraft certification.

I love Brian Shul's comment on 18 months to roll out an SR-71 compared to today's F-35. Amazing what you could get done back in those days. The cost and red tape involved in producing a military aircraft today is sickening.

Pilots are required to be trained on RVSM.

Yeah but it is different these days. Kelly Johnson is no longer with us.

True Johnson one of a kind but they have something out there we know nothing about, yet.

Are there an RVSM certification, though?

Considering it has to be documented, then yes.

Does it have ADSB? Did you convert the rear pit to accommodate an airmattress? could start a new "club", the 16 mile high club and the "sex faster than a bullet club" !

Is that aircraft specific training?

Not really, are we talking Part 91, 91K, 125, 135 or 121?

I'm thinking was as we were trained and tested on it, Part 121 at least at my airline.

Best part: Fuel flow gauges are marked up to 90 in units of "PPH x 1000." Twin-engine airplanes really just aren't as efficient as singles, at any speed.

Skunks works was a great read, had that book for years.
