BTW - what did YOU do that weekend?

Dave;

Now that I know zzzzzoom was in attendance at Mohave I wish that I
had continued my trip that day. I was at Edwards trying to visit the
museum that very day. I had planned to go on to Mohave, but after
being turned away from Edwards due to security (they weren't letting
anyone in without a base sticker).


This doesn't sound exactly right. You don't have to have a base
sticker to get in to Air Base museums. Temporary passes are issued if
you set them up ahead of time.


It is exactly correct,I didn't have anything going on so I headed
for Edwards. I didn't set anything up in advance. I didn't even know
if the Edwards Museum was in the security area. The museum that I once
had a hand in at Grissom AFB was on the base property. But,it was
outside the Security area and no passes were needed.

I turned around and headed back to
Victorville. When I checked the net that night I found out about the
Spaceship One flight. I was really bummed that I didn't head on over.
Now that I know that zzzzoom was there I am sure that my presence
would have ruined his day.


Why is that? Were you planning to intimidate him or something?


Like I said just my presence would have ruined his day. Considering
what he has pulled on me in the past.I owe to myself to do everything
legally that would upset him.You need to be on the recieving end of
some of his B.S. to really understand.
