re: #35 TedStriker
FWIK, Ford wasn’t hotdogging it, he had an in-flight engine failure and was able to at least land it, which is not what happened to Denver:
Ford apparently had a mechanical failure, while Denver was flying a new (to him) aircraft that had its fuel tank selector valves in a location that was unreachable in-flight that deviated from the Rutan specs, with a woefully light fuel load.
Great info. I still give zero fucks to this crash.
