As an RV-6A builder, and formerly a VariEze builder, this accomplishment is especially sweet as I lived in Salina, Kansas as a child and remember the SAC alerts as B-47's and KC-97s roared off the same runway Steve landed on.
My dad was site activation officer for the Atlas Missle program. I once spent the night in dad's car as an Atlas D was placed into the silo in the middle of a Kansas blizzard.
I am amazed at how the RV community as well as homebuilders in general have contributed to progress in aviation and space. Glad I've been there to see some of the action!
