Happy birthday! I'd like to sing you a song:

He was born in the summer of his something something-th year,

coming home to a place he'd never been before (except to interview...).

He left yesterday behind him

you might say he was born again,

might say he found a key for every door.

When he first came to the mountains

His life was far away

on the road and hanging by a song.

But the strings already broken

and he doesn't really care,

it keeps changin' fast, and it don't last for long.

It's a Colorado Rocky Mountain High,

I've seen Road Guy driving so very long

The shadows from the starlight are softer than a lullabye.

Rocky Mountain High, ...in Colorado....

Rocky Mountain High....it's your birthday

Rocky Mountain High...happy birthday

look for the signs with the green cross :thumbs:

False. He flew it into the ocean.

He also proved conclusively that Rutan's canard design could be stalled.

I didn't think he stalled it. My recollection is that he lost control while searching for the fuel selector. There's a lesson there about getting yourself pretty familiar with where the controls are before actually flying a plane solo.

He couldn't switch to the reserve tank because the lever was on the opposite side of the back of the seat from what he was used to. The main tanks ran dry, and as he was reaching behind the seat for the switch, the plane stalled, plunging nose first into the drink.

IIRC, the citations in the NTSB report were his unfamiliarity with the newly purchased A/C and the non-standard positioning of reserve levers on EXP A/C.

False. He flew it into the ocean.

Dude. Too soon.

False. He flew it into the ocean.

C'mon, give me some artistic license.

Dude. Too soon.

He did that in 1997!

Sorry for being a Dwight Schrute buzzkill.

Happy Birthday Fearless Leader!

Drop the fact it's your birthday when you stopover in Pigsknuckle, OK for a beer and see if any rancher's daughters want to help you 'celebrate'.
