Back when flying was much simpler.

Arrows 25202, 25205, 25201, 25204 and 25203 (from top to bottom) await their fate outside Avro Canada’s experimental building in Malton, Ontario, May 8, 1959. Three straight-winged Avro Canada CF-100 Canuck jet interceptors, the aircraft type that the Arrow was meant to replace, are parked alongside the Arrows. (e999911909)

Is it out of the concept stage yet? I didn't think that craft had been launched to space.

That may be an earlier photo - 25202 wasn't in the photo of the aircraft being cut up. It was in maintenance at the time for landing gear repair, and although unlikely, some people hold out the hope that it had survived.

Would be cool to see the names of all these planes above the pictures, and what missions they flew in and what war. I see some that do have names.

No launch yet. The latest word is "Early 2022". This from Wikipedia:

SNC Demo-1, also known as Dream Chaser Demo-1, is the planned first flight of the Sierra Nevada robotic resupply spacecraft Dream Chaser to the International Space Station (ISS) under the CRS-2 contract with NASA. The demonstration mission is planned for launch in 2022[2] on the second flight of the ULA Vulcan Centaur rocket.[1][4] Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC) developed a new reusable spacecraft to provide commercial cargo resupply services to the International Space Station (ISS), based on decades of lifting body programs. Under the Commercial Orbital Transportation System (COTS) program, SNC designed Dream Chaser with industrial partner Lockheed Martin. SNC also designed the accompanying Shooting Star cargo module with subcontractor Applied Composites.[5] At the end of mission, the Shooting Star will destructively reenter the atmosphere and the Dream Chaser will land at the Kennedy Space Center's Shuttle Landing Facility.
