Rutan

February 27, 2015

So this is cool!

Someone is finally doing a documentary about Burt Rutan!

And (it gets even cooler!) it is being funded as a KickStarter project!

Check out the link here!

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/antennafilms/looking-up-way-up-the-burt-rutan-story?ref=nav_search

They have only reached a quarter of their goal as of this writing, but you can help make this documentary happen!

I chose the $500 “Attend the LA or New York Premiere of the film” option, and I hope you do too!

If you choose this option, email me if you want and we will get together for a few drinks before or after the film! (Preferably in NY, which is lots closer to me than LA).

I am at austin@x-plane.com as always… and I hope to see some X-Plane junkies like myself there at the Premiere!
