Chief test pilot for X-COR, former astronaut, X-prize judge,
instructor at National Test Pilot School (where Campbell "graduated").
He's the serious pilot among the "first 4."

The implications are significant.

He's also flown 56 differant types of aircraft.

Where as Eric "Winkle" Brown of the British Fleet Air Arm WW2 era,
apparently holds the "Record" @ 487.

But campbell has flown over 1300 types, hasn't he?


In the Richard Schreder biography "10,000 feet & Climbing" it stated the
Dick flew over 750 different models. (page 23). The biography posted on the
web states he accumulated 15,500 hous of flight time.

"10,000 feet & Climbing" was written by his daugher. The 750 different
models seems high, she may have ment 750 different aircraft.
