Virgin Galactic is Back in the Air

The article at the link below is brief, but it does include about a minute of the obligatory "Here we are flying!" video. I find it interesting that Wibaux anticipates an extended flight test process. I'm not sure what he means by that, but after initial "production flight test" profiles to show that basically everything works, and assuming no major structural or engine redesigns since SpaceShipOne, I would expect the flight test program to pick up just about where it left off.  Guess we will see.
