This is so sad, loss of a good pilot. I only saw Dick fly once, a group of us had flown our LongEz’s and VariEz’s down to Mojave for his brother, Burt Rutan’s birthday. Dick took out his LongEz, and I realized he had more piloting skills in his little finger than I’d ever have. That plane did things at 100 feet that I wouldn’t be comfortable doing at 5000 feet. People know him as 1 of the two who flew voyager, and the article on touches on a tiny fraction of the adventures he had in his life. Seemed like a life well lived. |
