REFLECTOR: Velocity Voice In Congress?

[John Abraham]

The Velocity flown at Oshkosh was a SEFG.  Actually the one in the photo on
your space.com link was N246RR, not an actual rocket velocity, which was
crashed due to running out of fuel a few years ago after leaving Texas to be
flown to the factory.  (no we weren't flying it before I hear about that one
;-)

All, 
I read this article with interest which lead to discovering the Republican
Candidate was involved in the Rocket Racing League and apparently at one
time owned a Mark 1-X Racer, John A. if you could comment of exactly which
derivative those birds were.

Pic of the Mark 1 X Racer, Looks like an SE FG. Not sure if he still owns
that bird.

Great to have friends in high places, hopefully he wins in the General
Election. I would expect him to be a voice for GA.
Navy Man of course, F-18 driver:  none better :)
