Dick R. piloted Voyager (with Gina Yeager) but had, as far as I know, no part in SpaceShipOne. Both aircraft are magnificent achievements. What was wrong with the Beech Starship? I keep meaning to look it up, but haven't got around to it. Burt claims no one has even been killed in one of his planes.
