Contrary to statements made by several media outlets, Burt Rutan, at
the post flight press conference, made it clear that the June 21, 2004,
flight of SpaceShipOne was NOT for the Ansari XPrize. Rutan said, "We had
planned that the next flight would be the first flight for the XPrize."

I wonder if they'll close the KMHV for that flight too. Optimistically,
I thought I'd fly in before the protective NOTAM went into effect,
but the airport itself has been "Prior permission required" for the
last few days. Oh well. Perhaps without all the fuss next time it
might make a nice day out.
