I just got back from Burt Rutan's 60th birthday party in Mojave.
Rode in the backseat of someone else's Long-EZ. I would much rather be
in the front seat.

I was planning to fly down for it, but summer weather hit us with a sneak attack up here in
Oregon. So I started monkeying around with the oil cooling ducting trying to improve it once
again. I just didn't feel comfortable flying that long distance with all the changes made
recently. I would basically be limited to early morning takeoffs, which wouldn't have been a
problem, since that is what we did anyway.

Great show wasn't it? Got the tour of the space ship from the man himself.
