In a post-flight press conference test pilots Tim Berg and co-pilot Mike Bryan said they “enjoyed the whole day. “Berg said, “We had a great plan, we had a great team, and we had a great jet. We did exactly what we wanted to and it performed exactly like we thought it would. And that’s about as perfect as it gets for a test pilot.”
