I'm reviewing you again. You know what I am going to say, right off the bat. I think it's too short, again. However, this time, It is so short, it looks like a start. Can you get more information; like the things the aircraft did at Anacostia? Any major VIP visits? The lede is also a leetle bit short (that is a understatement). There is a Johnxon in the citations, but not in the biblography. I think that is a typo for Johnson. I will put this onhold for a while, so you can fix the problems listed previously.

Hi again! I've fixed that typo; I'll get around to expanding the lede later. As for lengthening the article, I'll see what I can do - there simply isn't that much available on the aircraft. But I might manage to dig up some dirt, so I'll do my best! - The Bushranger One ping only 00:51, 16 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
Hmm, I think I might just be getting into a chase with you around you GA world! Hmm, let's see... Can we finish in 80 days? WikiCopter (simplecommonslostcvuonau) 03:47, 16 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
What about 40 days and 40 nights? Anyway, some further digging in both Google books and the pit of dross that is normal Google turned up...a surprising amount of additional information, which I've included in the article, including the surprising tidbit that the XSBF-1 paid at least one visit to NACA at Langley Field. Alas, it didn't say what it was doing there, just that it was. I might be able to get my hands on some of the U.S. Navy's official data as mentioned here (Box 34), but I can't be at all certain of that, so no need to wait on it. Also found a more suitable picture, alas still only fair-use though. Anyway, I hope the article is better now. - The Bushranger One ping only 05:05, 18 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
Lede needs expansion still, will get around to the rest later. WikiCopter (simplecommonslostcvuonau) 16:49, 19 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
Actually, it doesn't. The article does... I think. You will get more comments on the size elsewhere, later on. Passed. WikiCopter (simplecommonslostcvuonau) 23:35, 26 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
