Release of the Sumie Memorial Plane

Last night, quite the little crowd gathered on Platform Three of the Airship Yard at Caledon Middlesea. We were there to celebrate the release of the newest Caledon aircraft to hit the skies of Second Life, the Sumie Memorial Plane. Test flights abounded--some pretty, some not so pretty--as those who gathered "got a feel for" the controls.

Proud airplane pappa, Wrath Constantine, Duke of Middlesea, is distributing the aircraft inworld, free of charge in the memory of Sumie Kawashima. The box also includes links to Sumie's memorials as well as a bell that she designed, called "Hope."





Personally, I'm really jazzed about this aircraft. Not only is it a really nice design and I know how excited it's creator is to have the project completed, but it's the first SL aircraft with actual controls that I've been able to thusfar keep out of the water. I won't say that my piloting is a lovely thing to behold, but for once, this little kitty didn't get drenched! ;)
