My first thought was insurance, then I read the article and it was in the process of being scrapped. Not likely anyone would try to insure an airplane they are reducing to scrap. Accidents happen.

The article mentioned that the majority of GA pilots are more then willing to report these illegal actions when they see and recognize them. I have no way of knowing, but would bet hard cash that the bad guys represent a tiny fraction of GA pilots. So rather than being likely, that when you see a GA aircraft overhead it is carrying contraband, there is a slim possibility that it is. Not even worth mention.

Unless the BOD replaces the current 'management team', it will not be the beer flu that hurts their sales. The flu is world wide, most of Boeing's problems are confined to Chicago.

It sounds like this is being done on a firm foundation. That AF contract should nicely take care of transition from a single seat test bed into a viable 'bizjet', and it is likely that with all that behind them, the next transition to a small commercial passenger aircraft. So I guess the big question would be, can that passenger version be made to operate at a low enough overall cost of operation to sell tickets at subsonic seat prices.

I have ridden in one a couple of times, but don't know jack about them. I don't know if you can open the side doors in flight, but someone below said you drop the cargo ramp and run out the back. Sounds good to me. So my question is how did it land. Was it on an automatic landing system of some sort? Looks like it came in with minimal damage, but looks can sometimes be deceiving.

With assault and theft? Not an issue? No wonder these things are happening. Those are both crimes.

As has been stated below, put them on a no fly list for life. All US carriers at least. They can arrange their own way home. Actions should always have consequences.

BLM is the single most violent and racist organization in this country. From earlier still pictures I had seen, I was under the impression that they were all 3 white, or at least two were. My feeling was then and is now, throw the book at them, this crap has to stop. All lives matter, and the law should apply equally.
