Game Aerospace's GB2 has flown, and the program is now test flying the aircraft in Arkansas. The GB2 is a one-engine firefighting tanker, designed around that work from the beginning. Anyone who has owned an airframe knows what this milestone means. The design has left the drawing board and become an airplane with hours in its logbook. Next comes the slow, careful work of any test program, and for the GB2 that work is now happening over Arkansas.
