New Yorker magazine just ran an article on Burt. Brilliant, but a bit of a
nut case. Radu "Michael 182" wrote in message news:Rie8d.176868$D%.157526@attbi_s51... Watched the flight this morning on webcast. Burt is the man. Michael

a nut case. He'd have to be. No sensible person would have accomplished nearly everything he's accomplished so far in his lifetime. I read that article today; Rutan didn't strike me as a nut case. That other couple, Rod and Randa Milliron, seemed a good bit nutier than Rutan. vince norris

Watched the flight this morning on webcast. Burt is the man. Michael Now why would you go and insult the man like that? :-) If I was the president, the job envy would be the other way around. Bryan

SpaceShipOne did what the gummint did in 1961 with the X-15/B-52, and
they had to have a software billionaire dump a big big wad of cash on them to do it. I'm sorry, the Rutans are not my heroes. They have been a glorified hobby outfit for twenty years. Only one Rutan design has become a production aircraft and the company is buying them all back.....

Jim I'll bet you'll agree that the more GA pilots we have have government, the better off we'll be. I specify "GA" pilots, becasuse John McCain, whom I admire, is, unfortunately, NOT a friend of GA. To get back to the original suggestion, I suspect Burt Rutan would be as big a disaster as a President as Bush or Kerry would as aircraft designers. vince norris
