Thank you to each of the people places and things you have all done to make this happen ! I wouldn’t be me, if you weren’t you !
Awesome podcast. Dick is such a rockstar, outstanding stories.
As a great fan of both the show and Rutan this was a fantastic show. We followed the construction of the aircraft, made some minor donation, attended the launch and were back out for the return. Learned a lot more from the show.
