Empathy For Stunt Pilots
Well, the Genesis probe crash was disappointing, to say the least. Dan Rudert, and first-in-line Cliff Flemming, had to be even more disappointed after training and practicing for so long. But Cliff has an impressive list of film credits, and I hear that Dan was taking time out from his own film work to fly the mission for NASA. Young Top Gun types are nice, but I have to say it's great fun to have a few working cowboys in the over-40 category. And from what I hear, neither of these guys is going to be hanging up his spurs for a long time.
