He's the serious pilot among the "first 4."

The implications are significant.

He's also flown 56 differant types of aircraft.

Where as Eric "Winkle" Brown of the British Fleet Air Arm WW2 era,
apparently holds the "Record" @ 487.

But campbell has flown over 1300 types, hasn't he?


In the Richard Schreder biography "10,000 feet & Climbing" it stated the
Dick flew over 750 different models. (page 23). The biography posted on the
web states he accumulated 15,500 hous of flight time.
(http://www.soaridaho.com/Schreder/Sc...Biography.html)

"10,000 feet & Climbing" was written by his daugher. The 750 different
models seems high, she may have ment 750 different aircraft.

In article . com,

says...

I heard back from Rick Searfoss rather promptly. He evidently
works for
XCOR Aerospace, and RRL is their client. He isn't paid by/Doesn't
speak
for/represent in any way, etc.

I don't blame him, this is looking more and more like a Tarbaby.
Hi Harry
What does Col. Rick Searfoss do? I don't know the name.

Chief test pilot for X-COR, former astronaut, X-prize judge,
instructor at National Test Pilot School (where Campbell "graduated").

Dan, U.S. Air Force, retired

I think his Bio says 1100, but I'll let someone else tilt at that windmill.

I've read Ron Wanttaja's "Guide for the Zoomed", and I'm in the "Pop white
smoke and dive
for the bunker" mode. I had the range, fired for effect, and I'm still
waiting out the secondaries.
I think I'll wait till he stops to reload before sticking my head up.

Forget the white smoke, that's for concealment. The LZ is red smoke.
"I identify purple" "screw that purple, that's lavender" "I don't care
what you call it get yer ass and report to commo bunker."

Good to hear that. It'll be posted at strategic locations across the next
for your entertainment.

Sure, just make sure you got a model release and a payment agreement
and we'll go from there...

....absent my signature and a payment arrangement that's to my
satisfaction and you pay through the nose, as does anyone who publishes
it.

The photo you utilized is not your copyright and it's not associated
with news nor Editorial.

Damn! You'd think a Journalist would know that!

Seeing is believing...have you seen him in person to contrast the face
with the photo? And do you remember where you saw the photo? I'd like
a look myself...

That would be quite the shock for the Marines ~ "Conduct Unbecoming A
Marine," with Juan defending a guy claiming to be a Vietnam Veteran who
isn't, and for that matter, wasn't wounded in action.

We're working on that story right now....so if I can confirm the photo
sighting of Juan in a Marine uniform, I can take that to the Marines
and see what they have to say.

Thanks for the info! It's a lead...

shot...thanks!

Jim, why don't you call me on a Sunday, like you did before, while I was

If or when you feel up to it, I'd like to hear your story...



This is a published e-mail so don't anyone worry about my posting
it...don't mean nothing to me.

Coincidence? Hmmm...

Well, how about ANN's picture and bio of him...and if you think the RRL
bio for Campbell is bad, just check out the same page for what he wrote
about himself in his own bio at ANN as well...but here's Juan's porky
face. Clearly his airplane hasn't flown because he can't fit in it!

http://www.aero-news.net/Community/D...-cd6c1512e817#

Check out that Tux...cumberbund probably already snapped and took out
someone's eye...or severed their head from their neck.

Man, this guy's talking crap about my pics? I remember a line from a
while back about someone shaving a dog's ass and making it walk
backward...

....well, here living proof that it can be done. In a Tux no less...

However, I don't see the Marines taking this guy...despite what's in
his bio.

Bear,

Go here for the pic you want....

Too easy to find...

Now we all know what he looks like...I'll leave it at that!
