I had heard that Happy Jack was the first 100 point winner of this prize. Maybe someone could confirm (or deny) that.
If true...WOW!

Congratulations to the HJGB crew!


Hoot Gibson! The only astronaut I have ever met! What a nice guy!

Is he involved with the airplane? Or was he a presenter?

So let's photograph the winning team in front of the wrong, losing airplane. Geniuses.
:evil:


Was great to see it...it's now on my desktop...an incredible restoration. Congrats to the team. Only problem I was kibitzing with Steve Hinton in the Strega pit when Happy Jack's took off Sunday. Darn!
