Because I fly, I envy no one.

I going, I already got my Prior Permission to land on Sunday 6/20 at 4pm.
Couldn't miss history being made so close to home.

I'm going. I'm taking Monday off from work so I can head out there the night
before. It'll be a long night, but worth it in my opinion. One thing I've
been wondering though - how big is this thing going to be? I envision it
either being a dozen people standing around at dawn, or the the biggest
event Mojave airport has ever seen. Any idea where it's going to fall
between those two extremes?

Cool. Unfortunately, I am going to CA commercial, but this this has to
be a "do not miss".

Well, every motel room in Mojave has been booked for that date since
the day after the first press release. But then, there are only five motels.

As much as I hate feeding this troll....
Yes, Mr. McNicoll, history. History in the fact that this, if
successful, will be the first flight into the realms of NASA defined 'outer
space' by a civilian organization not subsidized by any government funding.
It won't be the last. And it even might lead to advances in aviation to the
benefit of us all.
While you, in your purile attempts for attention, want to create
animus, there are those of us who cheer the effort.
Way back when, I used to enjoy reading your posts. Some of them were
informative. Now, you pick petty arguments and contribute very little to
this small sector of the aviation community.

PLONK!!!!!

Swell, but why does that make it historically significant?

Ooooh, the "T" word...now you've done it Casey :-)
