Day Five…

Saturday, August 1st, 2009

Whew, just a short update at the moment. I’ll put up a more detailed post later.

The day started with an interview at 9:00 with a Arctic teacher/mountain man/pilot/amateur anthopologist and scientist. I followed this at 10:30 with a gentleman who owns two replica fighter aircraft, an interview with Clive Coote from the Yuneec Electric Aircraft company, and Bill Richards, retired air traffic controller. I think there was someone else in there, too, but I’m pretty fried at the moment.

Followed up this full day with the Roadable Aircraft / Flying Car forum, an annual event I’ve attended every year since 1992. I didn’t present any designs this year (wanted to, but just didn’t pull it together), but it was still terrific fun as usual.

More to follow…

Day Four: Interview-a-rama…

Friday, July 31st, 2009

More details coming soon. Big interview day, opening with Diane Dores, CEO of Deltahawk (diesel airplane engines), a former Air Force general who took two hours and could have gone for 30 or 40 more, a gentleman who soloed on his 16th birthday…by flying 23 planes…and sitting in with an interview of an F-18 pilot. We wrapped up with Zack’s annual barbequeue for volunteers and members of the Warbird Exchange online forum.
