Charles took her hand and said, "There less risk of something happening on this flight than there is on a normal commercial flight. There are sixty people who will be watching every detail of that aircraft and every aspect of our flight has been pre-planned."
Alejandro said, "We have planned for everything... You know Richard, right?"
Charlotte nodded as Alejandro continued, "Well he's supervised everything for these test flights... hell his contingency plans have contingency plans. He told me the only thing that he can't predict is a bird strike or an act of God, and the way that plane is made... a bird is not going to win and it's too fast for even God to catch it."
Charlotte looked back at her Father and said, "Ok... but I want to be there..."
Amarissa said, "I'll make sure you have full and unrestricted access to the flight line and aircraft; if anyone asks... tell them you're working for me. You can watch the flight from the gallery in the control room."
Alameda added, "It would make more sense if she was working for me... If anyone asks, I've directed you to evaluate the interior for guest services applications. In fact...I just did... Charlotte I want you write up your opinion on the interior design aspects and let me know if there is anything we need to improve from a flight attendant perspective. Engineers tend to do what they know and they don't know the reality of a six to ten hour flight with drunk customers... right?"
Charlotte laughed as she nodded.
Amarissa replied, "Well if we're going to ask her to do that, she should move to the top of our candidate list for the first operational flight crew... She's already in the top ten."
Alameda smiled and said, "Sounds like you have a new job Charlotte. You're going to write the book on flight services for the Spoon... well... as soon as we move it into production."
Alejandro mumbled, "... and find some customers other than NASA."
Charlotte smiled and nodded as Charles said, "I'd love to have you with me. Thank you Amarissa. Charlotte, I'll walk the plane with you and answer any questions or concern you have... Ok?"
Charlotte nodded then kissed her Father on the cheek whispering, "I don't know what I would do if I lost you too... so soon after..."
Charles nodded and rubbed his forehead to hers as he said, "I understand... we need to finish breakfast and get out to the hangar. Armando and I need to get our flight suits on and start our inspection. I'm sure Richard has a list of changes he wants us to go over."

The six of them filed out of the closet. They stopped for a moment to watch Patti and William enjoying each other in a sixty nine position. Daniel and Tami were holding the door open and coughed to get their attention.
Bob and Mary gave Paul, Karen, Heather and Hunter hugs and kisses before watching them depart and the door close behind them.
Paul and his family followed Daniel and Tami through the lobby. Daniel and Tami waived at Chris who was talking to a guest. They all past through an unmarked door to the private carport. Daniel opened the passenger door on one side and Tami opened the door on the other. Paul and his family piled into the back of the long car.
Tami leaned in and asked, "Is there anything I can get anyone? A Drink? A snack? We have some pillow and blankets under the front right bench seat."
Karen was closest to her and after looking around at the shaking heads replied, "No thank you dear. I think we're good."
Paul asked, "You two remember where our apartment is, right?"
Tami nodded and said, "Yes Paul. Did you want to make any other stops?"
Paul replied, "No, please take us straight to our apartment. You and Daniel can come up and wait while we change clothes. Then Rebecca will join us on our trip to the office. After that you two are on your own."
"Very good. We can be available all day if you need us too." Tami replied as she closed the door.
Karen sat next to Paul and held his hand. She said, "My goodness I was not expecting Mary to be so passionate. I want to spend some more time with her and Bob. Bob's cock tasted so good and William's made me feel like I was robbing the cradle or something like that."
Heather grabbed Hunter's crotch and said, "Well, I know Mary wants to enjoy this some more. She took you as deep as I do on her second try. It took me a while to work you in that deep."
Hunter said, "That woman can suck cock too. I don't want to say anything that would upset you two, but this morning was the quickest I had ever cum after cumming... if you know what I mean."
"Bob was so cute too. He was like a kid in a candy store. There were so many things he wanted to see and do to Karen and I after our nap yesterday. I was fun watching him have fun with our bodies." Heather added.
Paul said, "Oh man did Mary made us work for her climaxes. It was like she could control when she was going to cum. She wanted to enjoy us inside her or just eating her pussy and she didn't want us to stop. She'd climax, catch her breath then focus on the next man in the room. She's got stamina too. Karen, she kept up with you and not a lot of woman can do that. Last night she was right there with you, taking on all of us and she was just moments ahead of you when she passed out. She was also right there with you when you two kept begging for more."
Karen raised her hand, "Excuse me... I said NO MORE, not more and you all just kept fucking us despite our objections."
She paused then said, "And I loved it. God that was great and it was only made better because Bob and Mary were there to join us. Paul, we have to spend more time with them, all of them; either at our place or theirs. Bob's pre-cum tastes amazing."
Heather nodded her affirmation.
Paul replied, "You heard Bob, we have an open invitation to visit them anytime we want. Maybe we can just make it a weekly thing to spend the night with them. I know I wouldn't mind spending more time at The Estate."
Karen started to lean toward Paul and Heather and Hunter were pressed into the back of their seats as the limo began a spiral ascent. Heather was turning a little green when the car stopped and everyone was thankful when Tami opened the door and said, "Sorry about that. Daniel was looking for a place large enough to park the limo. The oversized vehicle spaces were taken."
As Paul emerged he noticed that Daniel had found two back to back parking place on the upper level of the parking garage, fortunately right across from the elevators. Daniel secured the car and Tami held the elevator for him. Paul entered their access code and pressed the button for their floor.
The elevator was large enough to accommodate everyone comfortably, but each couple was pressed together holding their lovers close during the short ride up.
Paul rang the doorbell and an excited Rebecca answered the door. She jumped for Paul and he caught her as she screamed, "I missed you Mom and Dad!"
Paul carried his Daughter across the threshold as Karen leaned forward and kissed her Daughter. Paul continued to carry her all the way to their bedroom. Karen pulled off her borrowed dress as she followed her Husband and Daughter down the hallway.
**************************************
Armando, Charles, Charlotte and several others rode out in a large van to the hanger that housed the Spoon. They all followed Armando through a side door to a typical aircraft hangar.
As they stepped out of the van Charlotte noticed the air on the flight line was crisp and cool. The storm had left in its wake perfect weather both on the ground and in the air.
Charlotte helped her Father change into his flight suit. Not so much as helped as there were skilled technicians to do that, she was there for moral support. Mostly her own.
When he was done, they met up with Armando and walked down the dull yellow hallway and into the open hangar space.
The Spoon was in the middle of the cavernous opening facing the tall closed doors.
Charlotte's brain had to take a moment to process what she was seeing. It really did look like a spoon, a dark black spoon with curved fins at the apex of the bowl that connected to the neck.
Richard walked up and said, "Everything looks good. Here's the revised test schedule. No changes, we just refined the timing indices a little."
He turned to look at the plane and pointed as he continued, "She's all fueled up and the APUs are on-line. The techs are running the diagnostics and everything is on schedule. Do you two want to do your visual inspection now?"
Charles was looking at the aircraft and turned to Richard saying, "Ric, this is my Daughter Charlotte."
Richard extended his hand and said, "It's very nice to meet you Charlotte. Rosalynn called me and explained why you would be here. Feel free to look around, please don't touch anything. If you have any questions just ask me. When they are ready to get buckled in I'll take you to mission control. That way you will know everything that's happening as soon as I do. Ok?"
Charlotte smiled and said, "Thank you, Richard,"
Richard replied, "Please call me Ric, only my Mother and my Sister call me Richard. Gentlemen your aircraft awaits..."
Charlotte followed at a comfortable distance as Armando and Charles walked with Richard and a couple of other people surveying the exterior of the aircraft. She smiled for some unknown reason when she saw her Father reach up and gently caressed the underside of the fuselage with the tips of his fingers. She remembered he had once told her that he did that because it helped to remind him that he was about to fly that aircraft and it was real and not just a dream.
Charlotte stepped back as they continued their inspection and she admired the how the dark black composite skin seemed to suck up all of the light in the room and refused to give it back. The surface was completely smooth there was not a wrinkle, line or straight edge on it anywhere.
The handle of the spoon looked like an F-16. Where there would have been a bubble for the pilot was a curved bump with a single long wide window reaching from one side of the plane to the other.
The arc of the neck of the spoon reminded her of an X-B70, except this one had at least ten windows stretching from the door behind the bump almost to the bowl. She had always been a fan of odd and unique aircraft and the Valkyire one was one of her favorites.
Charlotte felt a chill run up her spine as she remembered what happened to one of them during a test flight.
Richard appeared next to her and said, "It's hard to find a frame of reference isn't it?"
Charlotte replied, "It is... I see an F-16, a lifting body and little of the X-B70 in there. I guess the kitchen sink is represented by the spoon shape?"
Richard laughed and said, "You see that large oval attached to the bottom of the aircraft's fuselage, just under the engine intake?"
Charlotte nodded. It was obvious that it was not something that would normally be there; she assumed it was a test package or maybe an extra fuel tank."
Richard said, "That's our test package. Everything that is happening inside and around that aircraft is being recorded; video, sound, magnetic fields, air pressure, static buildup... everything. With that package we, on the ground, usually know what's happening before the pilots do. We even have the ability to take over and control the Spoon by remote. That is also where we can put an extra fuel tank, ordnance pod, or some other customer requested payload. Armando and I have talked about using the Spoon to launch a small satellite from that mount point."
Richard then pointed to the top of the aircraft. She could not see into the bowl of the Spoon, but she could see two fins sticking up at the shoulder of the spoon's bowl. Both were curved inward almost forming a sideways eye.
He said, "The goal was to create a supersonic aircraft that would deflect the energy of the compressed air upward, away from the ground."
Charlotte replied, "Oh... I get it... by doing that you eliminate the sonic boom on the ground... Now I see... that eye structure... it tries to induce some form of laminar flow across the bowl pulling the wave upward and if those are moveable that's how you can control the yaw of the aircraft... won't that configuration increase the downward force on the bowl and what about the negative pressure on the bottom of the bowl, won't that pull it down too? How is that thing going to generate any lift at all? It's... It's like it's upside down."
Richard stared at her for a moment, processing what she had just asked when Armando and Charles returned.
Richard looked at Charles and said, "You have a very intelligent daughter. She found the same flaw in our design Aviation Week did just by looking at it."
Charles laughed and said, "Well that's why we have test flights... right."
He hugged her, kissed her on the cheek saying, "If Armando and Richard are right, the deflection of the pressure wave will create a vortex above the bowl negating the negative forces created by the low pressure differential under the bowl."
Charlotte said, "Dad... that's kind of counter intuitive and in direct contradiction to the lifting body tests from the sixties. I don't see any way for that shape to generate enough lift for you to even take off..."
Richard said, "The bowl is an entirely dynamic surface area. It reshapes itself as it moves through its various flight modes. Also... the results of the lifting body experiments from the sixties and seventies may have been limited by the available technology. Many of us think the results are incomplete. Something we hope to verify today. At least we hope to confirm what we've simulated in the wind tunnel."
Charlotte looked at Richard and said, "So... you're telling me we have... the only super-sonic wind tunnel in the world that can run longer than one or two seconds. You'd need at least thirty seconds for a vortex to form."
Richard asked, "Forty two seconds...Ok... I'm curious... Where did you get your degree in computational fluid dynamics?"
Charlotte smugly replied, "The University of Texas... well... almost. I had to drop out when Mom got sick."
Charles said, "We simply could not afford to keep her in school and pay her Mother's medical bills. We also had some challenges with Charlene which forced us to enroll her into a private college. Charlotte sacrificed her higher education so Charlene could get hers."
Richard nodded and said, "Hmmm... Traditional CFD formulas are based on flight tests data that have not been reproduced in thirty years. We've recreated most of those test in our wind tunnel and found some interesting things happening outside the previously documented envelopes. Time to see who's right. Gentlemen, if you are ready please start your pre-flight checklist and I'll take Charlotte over to mission control with me."
Charlotte said, "Dad... I'm even more worried now."
Charles hugged her, kissed her cheek and said, "Everything will be fine... You don't see Alameda or Amarissa here stressing out do you? I love you and everything will be ok..."
**************************************
Paul tossed Rebecca onto their bed and she laughed like a small child when she bounced. She quickly scrambled to the edge and said, "Daddy... let me take off your clothes."
Paul stood still and watched as Rebecca unbuttoned the Hawaiian shirt he had borrowed from Bob. As soon as the last button was undone, Rebecca began to run her hands all over his chest. She loved the shape of his pecks and feeling the hair on his chest running through her fingers.
She worked her way down to his shorts and released the snap. She reached inside his shorts and held his cock as she lowered his zipper. She continued to hold on to his cock as the shorts fell to the ground. Rebecca dropped down to her elbows and cupped Paul's balls as she pulled his cock into her mouth.
Rebecca closed her eyes and she felt a chill run through her body when she felt its warm mass and wonderful shape filling her mouth. As she ran her tongue around the tip she moaned loudly onto her Father's cock when her Mother began to finger her pussy.
Rebecca's body suddenly felt like jelly all over. She was so happy and content; this was her happy place, sandwiched in between her Mother and Father, version 2, feeling his cock inside her and her Mother on the other end. She got another chill as thing got even better.
She felt someone take her hand and pull it away from her Father's balls, then she felt something long and hot placed in it. It was Hunter's cock; Rebecca knew Hunter's and Paul's cocks by touch alone. She then felt Heather's small hands caressing her breasts and running her fingers across her back and through her butt cheeks.
Rebecca' body shuttered again as she climaxed from her family loving her like they were.
**************************************
Richard drove a nervous Charlotte across the tarmac toward one of the taller PeregrinusMax buildings.
As they made their way around the wind tunnel building he said, "That's our wind tunnel. It's also what puts PeregrinusMax ahead of everyone else. Through the use of actual fluids and gases that have similar compression ratios at very high temperatures that air has normally as well as some proprietary sensors we're able simulate, more than generate supersonic flows across test models for up to five minutes... That's company confidential information, so don't share it."
Charlotte was about to ask a question when someone called Richard on the radio and he picked up the mike to reply.
He stopped the car at the edge of the airfield and used the radio to get permission to cross the runways. As they waited for approval Richard said, "As you know PeregrinusMax owns most of the airport property but our agreement with the city allows them to use it for commercial and private aircraft. So... we have to play nice, but we do get priority during test flights.
Authorization to cross the runways took a little time. One other car, two vans and an EMS truck were queued up behind Richard's car waiting for clearance. When authorization was granted all of them rushed to clear the runways as quickly as possible.
After they parked Charlotte followed Richard into the tall building and through a series of card key controlled doors.
Richard directed her toward another door saying, "That's the viewing gallery, you'll be able to watch and hear everything that's happening throughout the flight in there."
Charlotte nodded and said, "Thank you... Ric," before she opened the door and stepped inside.
Charlotte started to cry as soon as she saw Alameda and Amarissa sitting in the front row. Amarissa stepped over and pulled her into the seat between them.
Charlotte said, "Why are you two here?"
Alameda said, "I'm here for every test flight Armando takes. Always have been."
She then pointed out the window saying, "They are all sworn to secrecy. They have never told Armando that we're always here, watching, listening. It would be too much of a mental distraction for him to know we're here worrying about him. As soon as he lands we go back to our offices."
Amarissa said, "I usually stop in the ladies room and throw up before I come in here. Do you want me to take you..."
They then heard her Armando's voice over the speakers, "Tower, This is Peregrine-One; request departure instructions."
Amarissa said, "Sorry too late" as he put her arm around Charlotte and pressed herself into the back of her seat. The three ladies held each other's hands tightly.
Charlotte looked up at various monitors and saw the Spoon slowly pulling out of the hanger.
There was a knock on the door and Amarissa stood up and answered it saying, "Oh good you made it."
