Dave,

I remember that! You were flying with Dick Rutan. IIRC, according to
news reports Dick landed on a cactus and you landed on a fence,
dislocating your hip.

What a small world this has become!

I am a current commerical pilot, mostly flying in gas and hot-air balloons
and some sail planes. Spent a lot of time trying to fly around the world in
a balloon. Made three tries so far and failed on all three. Most recently
in January where we were forced to bail out of the balloon after having a
major structural failure in the balloon. Will try again this winter or most
likely next summer now that Steve didn't make it the other day.
