I'm honored, surprised, and flattered to have this picture selected from all the other great pictures by Gene Martine. When I received the call asking if it would be alright if this one was used, my first reaction was, "Sure, like Bob Hunt would be calling me!", but it was really him and then I asked why me? There were plenty of other pilots better qualified (and better dressed) than me. Was it my legendary flying ability (hahaha)? After a pause, he replied, "Well, to be honest, yours was the only orange airplane." Many thanks to the Weedmans and the other members of X-47 who worked so hard to make this a great contest, many thanks to Gene for the great pictures, and most of all, to Bob Hunt for making my day. Now, I wonder how many orange airplanes will be entered next year?
