First manned flight of Spaceship 2

by Volker Weber

Flies like a piano. 40,000 ft in 10 minutes. Excellent pilot as you can see in the last 100 ft.

Burt Rutan puts most of the praise on his aircraft (rightly) calling it a "phenomenal flying machine" but I think you are right, it's really the pilot that makes this landing so beautiful to watch.

Didn't you mean first glided flight? That thing was never in the air unmanned.
