m... I noted from the TV news reports that Mr. Melville was wearing only a flight suit and an oxygen mask (no full or partial pressure suit). Does anyone know whether the cockpit was pressurized? If not (and even if so) this was pretty risky. Jim Thomas Burt Rutan made reference to a "shirt sleeve" environment in the cockpit...so I guess it was pressurized. Jay B in AZ
