Richard 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. Frank |

Rutan could not have done it without zoom and tarver. Juan's BD-5 was used for [editor's note: shovel broke at this point] Dan, U.S. Air Force, retired |

Thought you were in Malaysia,I just shipped a plane there. See ya el Pollo loco 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. Frank "assistant stolen chicken taster" Hitlaw The launch was probably better seen on TV but,there is nothing like being there.

A fellow on one of the email lists sent a note that
Mike will be on the Tonight Show - tonight. NOW (finally) we might get a better story that the silly superficial questions asked by the news media. The news spots (all the news that's fit to print?) basically asked, "how do you feel about it?" (entertainment) Jay Leno, an entertainer, will get the news story out. Odd how it works... Richard |

I heard mooz is claiming to have been in Beech chase plane. Not only that, but he's claiming to be one of the first to spot damage to the spacecraft. It's in the headline story on ANN. |
