Hi Frank
I heard mooz is claiming to have been in Beech chase plane .I can't believe Burt
was that unknowing about who he let on board.That is if it's true. Boy talk
about useless baggage he probably got airsick LOL!!!

I watched it on TV today and it was another great aviation event brought to us
by Burt Rutan and Company. Hats off to them all.

Thought you were in Malaysia,I just shipped a plane there.
See ya

I dislocated my right foot over in Indonesia and came back to
California where we have an office. Had to have a couple of surgeries
to put it back together at the local VA hospital. I should be going
back over to Indonesia in about a week or so.
Awful news nutwork reported that our favorite test pilot was the
still camera pool photog. You are correct that was a waste of space.I
was standing next to a guy that had a scanner tuned to the air to air
channel. Several times they came on and told someone to stay off that
freq and that someone kept keying a mic. I wonder......?
Did you ever send a plane to Makkassar on the island of Celebes. Due
to a traffic jam on the ramp we taxied out a back way. I looked back
as we turned and got a fleeting glimpse of a couple of light planes in
a shade hangar.Like I said it was a very fleeting look and one of them
sure looked like a Hawk,didn't see much it was dark blue and black and
in the shade but I thought that's a Hawk. Guess they know quality over
there also.

The launch was probably better seen on TV but,there is nothing like
being there. It was a great way to spend a beautiful desert morning
along with several thousand of my closest friends. It isn't often that
you get to be an eye witness to history,I'm glad I was there.
The only downside for me was that I didn't get to see the mooz. I
think that my presence would have caused his blood pressure to rise
faster than Space Ship 1.
