Burt Rutan, the designer of many iconic homebuilt aircraft designs including the VariEze, globe-circling Voyager and GlobalFlyer, Space Ship One and numerous unique experimental aircraft, participated in several public events with his brother and pilot Dick Rutan. He was also presented with a special block of the airshow featuring aircraft of the Rutan heritage.
