Friday night we had a last minute dinner party and Domino game. Other than the usual suspects in attendance, Shirley came up and joined us. We had a great time with lots of laughs. I can't remember who won... It might have been Marilyn. She's been on a lucky streak and won the last several times.
Saturday we were up early and on the road to the Fly In at the Mojave airport. They were having a special day with a tour of the Orbital Stargazer. The inside of the airplane is stripped with just a control panel in the back.
After the tour we were back on the tram for a ride back to the hanger where they were going to have a talk by a man (forgot his name) who has flown several missions with this. The Orbital carries the Pegasus which was developed to provide cost-effective access for the small satellite community. These satellites weigh up to 1,000 pounds.
