helofixr Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Just like 5 years ago, dozens of canard-equipped flying machines showed up yesterday at Mojave for the celebration of Burt and Dick's birthdays. Pics and an article are up on my blog at http://mojaveskies.blogspot.com/2008/06/rutan-brothers-birthday-bash.html Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdubner Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Pics and an article are up on my blog at http://mojaveskies.blogspot.com/2008/06/rutan-brothers-birthday-bash.html Alan That multi-colored Long-EZ in the foreground of the Beech Starship image (http://bp0.blogger.com/_nP0yUQFiTwU/SF7ePw5hLbI/AAAAAAAAAXE/DZNGILtoOr4/s1600-h/rutan-birthday-bash-2008-080621-069-8.jpg) belongs to Jim Price. It's powered by a normally aspirated O320 and holds an altitude record (35,000 feet). Jim and I flew down from Idaho for the event. And yes, it was great! -- Joe Quote Joe Dubner Long-EZ, RV-8A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
