	It seems I heard they had jets on it for testing only and they
had been removed for flight. They did not use a 747 to haul it up for
atmospheric testing and landings but actually did runway takeoff. I
think this came from Aviation Week a couple months ago, but then I
have a poor memory and it might all be fiction.
