What’s with all the water around first flights? When someone has their first flight in one of Scaled’s experimental aircraft, we like to celebrate with a Splash – a gathering of coworkers with buckets, water guns, and other conveyors of water will greet the person who just flew on landing to drench them in a tradition we adopted from military pilots. While some folks will stand and take in the water, others will hit the ground running and make their coworkers chase after! ? #FirstFlightFridays #splash #suddenrainstorms #desertrain

Some interesting projects are built behind the doors of Scaled’s hangars – odd airplanes, boat sails, and even stage props: “Chickenbone” was an effort to build a lightweight version of a John Dreyfuss cow vertebrae sculpture that dancers could manipulate on stage. The dancers of Dana Tai Soon Burgess Dance Company made the first flight dancing across stage with this structure for the show Gandhara’s opening night on November 5, 1999! ? #FirstFlightFridays #Dancing #manufacturing #propbuild

In the early 1990’s, Scaled built a twenty-four-foot-long, ten-foot-diameter pressurized gondola for the Earthwinds Hilton balloon, which planned to attempt an around-the-world flight. The first test flight happened in November of 1991! #FirstFlightFridays #BalloonFlight #BalloonGondola #AviationHistoryMonth
