My guess for the pilot for flight two is Burt.

I don't think so, I think Mike will pilot the ship, Mike is a great pilot and they don't want any mistakes...

True, no sense sending the brains behind the project up, leave it to Melville's experience.

I can't argue with you. It's more emotional for me to wish Burt would make the flight. He deserves to be there.

After the last flight, Mike Melvill said he would not pilot the next one. There are three pilots in the pool, none of whom are Burt Rutan.
