  William J. Knight - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
During 16 flights in the aircraft, Knight also became one of only five pilots to earn their astronaut's wings by flying an airplane in space, reaching an altitude of 280,500 feet.
In honor of his achievements, Knight was inducted into the Aerospace Walk of Honor with the inaugural class of 1990.
During his term in the Senate, Knight gained statewide attention as the author of Proposition 22, aka the "Knight Initiative" whose entire text stated, "Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California." Knight's son, David Knight, married his homosexual partner in March of 2004[1].

The White Knight was a manned, twin-turbojet research aircraft intended for high-altitude missions.
The White Knight's cockpit, avionics, electronic control system, pneumatics, trim servos, data system, and electrical system components were identical to those installed on SpaceShipOne.
The White Knight's high thrust-to-weight ratio and enormous speedbrakes allowed the pilots to simulate realistically SpaceShipOne flight manoeuvres of boost, approach and landing.

In "Airplane!", it is very clear that the directors respect the audience's intelligence; they do not try to force a crappy joke or line down the audience's throats, hoping that they will laugh.
One of the keys to "Airplanes" success is in using traditional dramatic actors like Robert Stack, Peter Graves, Lloyd Bridges and most of all Leslie Nielsen as the venerable Dr. Rumack who travels wearing his stethoscope, even when he is sleeping.
"Airplane 2-The Sequel" did nothing to strengthen the franchise as it sought and passed the limit of just how 'over-the-top' the limit of good humor was and still is. Having said all that, this is an adult comedy which is literally over all too soon.

 Mothership adopts a new space plane - Space.com - MSNBC.com
At its inland spaceport in Mojave, Calif., the White Knight mothership has been involved in fit and high-speed taxi checks with a new passenger: the X-37, an unpiloted, reusable space plane.
Designed by Scaled Composites of Mojave, the White Knight hauled SpaceShipOne to altitude and then released the piloted rocket plane for its record-setting suborbital treks, including the snagging of the high-stakes $10 million Ansari X Prize last year.
In its new role, the White Knight is being readied to carry the X-37, a vehicle supported by the Boeing Co., NASA and the Pentagon's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA.

 Wag the Dog   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-30)
Whereas the White House would have us believe that OBL admits that “We calculated in advance the number of casualties from the enemy…”, translator Dr. Murad Alami finds that: “‘In advance’ is not said.
The White House’s version also included the sentence “we asked each of them to go to America”, but Alami says the original formulation is in the passive along the lines of “they were required to go”.
Obviously, then, the attack was a white collar crime by one or more "white collar bioterrorist(s)." At least one Rockefeller-linked U.S. biological weapons official, Dr. Lederberg, and Rockefeller-partnered Corporation, Bayer (aspirin) that largely financed the Third Reich, and Hitler's rise to power, had obvious white- collar (financial) motives for these contemporary "terrorist" attacks.

SpaceShipOne and the exotic White Knight airplane that carried it high into the atmosphere were built by Scaled Composites, the company of innovative aircraft designer Burt Rutan.
A moment later, Melvill fired his rocket engine, and SpaceShipOne's bright white contrail shot up vertically at a striking right angle to the horizontal contrails of the White Knight carrier ship and chase planes.
After a brief firing, the rocket motor shut down, and the craft coasted to the top of its trajectory before dropping back into the atmosphere and gliding to its landing.

 BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Private spacecraft tested
SpaceShipOne is a reusable suborbital spacecraft developed in secret with an estimated $20 million (£12.4 million) of finance, by Burt Rutan and unveiled at a recent ceremony in the Mojave Desert, California.
The aim of SpaceShipOne, which is carried aloft by the White Knight aircraft for the first part of its journey, is to win the $10 million X-prize which will be awarded to the first craft that can carry three people to an altitude of 100 km twice in a two-week period.
According to a report on the X Prize web site, SpaceShipOne flew attached to the underside of the fuselage of the White Knight aircraft during a test flight over the Mojave Desert on 19 May.

Getting to space is a two-step process that begins with the spindly, jet-powered White Knight carrier airplane, which releases the egg-shaped, stubby-winged SpaceShipOne rocket plane at 50,000 feet.
At around 80,000 feet, it starts to fly like an airplane again, and returns to land on a normal runway.
Rutan's goal is to win the X Prize--$10 million for the first three-person craft to make it above 100 km twice in a two-week period.

 Techies Race to Suborbital Space
For decades, all general-aviation airplanes were built to rigorous FAA standards by corporate giants like Cessna and Beechcraft, and they all looked pretty much alike.
From the Earth-girdling Voyager to Proteus, a high-altitude research airplane that flies at 63,000 feet (as high as a U-2 spy plane), to White Knight and SpaceShipOne - "all are a natural progression, the ultimate expression of the VariEze," says Doug Shane, one of Rutan's four test pilots and director of flight operations at Scaled.
Which is, of course, only partly true, for neither White Knight nor SpaceShipOne's simulator can fully imitate the moment of truth when one of Rutan's test pilots fires up the rocket for the first time and blasts supersonic in a matter of seconds.

Then some Illuminati double-agents, pretending to be White Knights, insisted that the NESARA law had to be "passed" again by Congress.
The term "White Knights" is borrowed from the Wall Street Journal and the world of big business hostile takeovers when a vulnerable company is "rescued from a hostile takeover by a White Knight" corporation or wealthy person.
Certainly, these people fighting to bring Americans and the world the benefits of NESARA and to rescue our people from government and banking fraud deserve to be called "White Knights".

Test pilot Brian Binnie took the stumpy-winged rocket to a speed of 930 mph -- Mach 1.2 -- after a midair launch from Rutan's White Knight carrier airplane.
The flight was a milestone on the way to Rutan's goal of flying the craft to an altitude of 328,000 feet (100 km) and winning the $10 million X Prize.
The rocket plane dropped from White Knight at 48,000 feet; Binnie lit the motor, pulled into a 60-degree climb, and went supersonic 9 seconds after ignition.

In fact, the airplane handled so well, "quite often during the flight, it was easy to forget you were in an LCF rather than a regular 747-400," he said.
The airplane continued to descend into terrain in a left wing low attitude and subsequently "bursted into flames." The witness added that he initially thought the airplane was a "crop duster" and at no time did the airplane cross south of Highway 84.
Flight control continuity was established throughout the airplane to the ailerons, rudder, and elevator from the center section of the fuselage.
