Scaled Composites has abandoned years of silence about its development programmes and has begun posting flight test logs for the WhiteKnight Two mothership beginning with the 20 May flight. Over the months to come it can only get more interesting
Find here the SpaceShipOne mothership WhiteKnight flight test logs from 2002 to 2004

Remember they did the logs with WK/SS1 test flights. They usually showed up days after a flight, much to my frustration.
What IS interesting is the press release dated to right around the time you did your rather impressive investigative work late last month. I'm guessing someone important at SCALED frequents your blog, sir.
Hey, maybe you can talk someone there into publishing an 'unofficial' blog that gives us aviation nerds a little keyhole into Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. Think Kimbal Musk...

That is why I wrote years. They started logs with flight one of the original WhiteKnight back in 2002. But with Virgin Galactic the situation has not been as open, until now.
