Hey Ninetyone: References cited for my edits - so leave it alone
Firstly, Information is very relevant - want to show everyone how the government wastes tax dollars on and this company, Aurora Flight Sciences, has been wasting a great deal of tax dollars by their false advertising. The facts I have inserted in the pages which you apparently don't like are historical evidence of the companies operations and not someone making up a storey.
Secondly - you state: "Yes, Aurora flew some GoldenEye vehicles early on near their Manassas facility, but this was before the FAA developed current policies and procedures for granting Experimental certificates to unmanned aircraft, so its a little irrelevant." This shows how little you are educated when it comes to the national airspace - Aurora put the public and the airport ops in Manassas at great risk and Langford, the CEO was told that he must not operate in that manner - but he ignored us. (Remember Access 5)
Regarding SBIRs - as the article states: "What is the nursing period??" This seems to be Aurora's business model and they have paid off the necessary politicians - I think a couple have since left office and lucky for them - wait until you see the grass roots campaign at work when it comes to wasted dollars and you can bet Aurora is on that list.
It appears Yooper85 that you have some affiliation with Aurora Flight Sciences - have your read the Job Vent board (www.jobvent.com), now if I could interview those people, there would be alot more details I would be adding to the article.
Go ahead and contanct Wikepedia - I am obeying their guidlines and have cited my references.
Thanks and enjoy the weather in MA (is it Hingington?)

What's the axe to grind?
editGF940:
Could you lay off adding irrelevant information, personal opinions, and excerpts stolen from other web sites to the Aurora Flight Sciences article? If you want to grind some axe, please set up a personal blog somewhere. There are plenty of free blog services you could use for this.
Yes, Aurora flew some GoldenEye vehicles early on near their Manassas facility, but this was before the FAA developed current policies and procedures for granting Experimental certificates to unmanned aircraft, so its a little irrelevant. I believe all Aurora flight operations in the last two years have been government ranges with controlled (restricted) airspace.
The paragraph you pasted in from some other web page about Titan balloons doesn't even make a cogent point. And why single out this project? The federal register lists many SBIRs that Aurora has won recently. And the federal agencies are the ones that come up with topics for SBIRs that they want companies to bid on, which many companies do, not just Aurora. Typically Phase I SBIRs have 2-3 companies selected, then the one with the better results gets to move on to Phase II.
So, I ask you to re-evaluate your priorities in life and if this is worth both our time. Following Wikipedia guidelines, I'm hoping we can resolve this amicably, so I don't have contact the Wikipedia management to take more serious measures.
