Let's fly the Adam 500. One of the most rare airplanes flying today. Currently there are only 3 of these Burt Rutan Scaled Composites flying. One is based near me. @ErikJohnston and I went to get some photos of it and the owner took us up for a flight. Powered by twin Continental IO-550s in push-pull configuration with a dual boom tail configuration, you are unlikely to see anything like this out in the wild.
