Phantom Eye taxis for the first time

Tue Mar 13, 2012 3:11 pm

Boeings Phantom Eye did it's first taxiing today @ Edwards. The thing looks like a white maraca that collided with a twin Otter. 262crew says it looks like a Me-323 GIGANT on it's platform style landing gear

It has a retractable landing skid (a la Me-163, AR-232).
