NICE...what a guy! What a spirit those early aviators had...and to climb into an aircraft that many thought would break apart at Mach 1 and keep going. He flew into Mojave when I was out there with Burt Rutan and the two of them and Richard Branson sure did some flying that day! It was an honor!!!!!

"You better try and figure out what's happening and correct it." Words to live by.

Being a little kid in Florida during the Apollo program, knowing cats like him were, "just up the coast", launching themselves into space on a regular basis made them seem like hometown heroes, accessible but no less larger than life. A lot of us little kids, if not all of us, thought these kind of guys were the norm; it was a world brimming with heroes.
