Best wishes to Gordo. If I remember correctly, Fullerton piloted the first Enterprise free-flight landing in 1977, which I believe was broadcast live. He also piloted NASA's B-52 "mother ship" for the first six Pegasus launches. A bit of pucker factor for those inaugural flights, if not for the unknown elements, at least for the fact that the whole world was watching to see if he would mess up the first landing of the "flying brick". Goes without saying that only pretty darn good pilots get to do such things. - Ed Kyle
