Nice catch!

A friend of mine also pointed out that SpaceShipOne's inaugural test flight
was December 17, 2003 which would not be a coincidence.

Rutan's padding his luck with aviation mojo. Yeah, that's it. :

I think the 12/17/2003 run was the first powered flight, but not the first
test flight of the spacecraft.
