So, Sino-Swearingen's SJ30-2 is finally in flight test and, even better, is accompanied by a supersonic Hawker Hunter Mk 58. A what!? Well that's what it says here. I suppose that would be the Mach 0.93 supersonic Hunter 58 then, would it? Never mind. We asked: if the SJ30 goes Mach 0.83 flat out, why not use a Citation X as a chase instead? It has more windows and you can keep the photographer awake with freshly brewed coffee. But we were missing a major point, as our senior war editor Stewart Sidewinder reminds us: "Anything with a Hunter in it looks good." Which reminds me, anybody fancy jumping into the personal jet market with something elegant, fast, smooth. Something like, er.....a Hunter?
