Is Burt Rutan not doing any presentations this year? I keep waiting for something to post in the schedule but nothing yet. Are they just trying to hammer out his schedule? I see that Dick Rutans schedule is posted but not Burt's.

I'm pretty sure Burt Rutan is retired.

Yeah, he said in the forums last year that he was finally retiring from Scaled. I don't remember him ruling out a trip to Oshkosh as a presentor or with something new.

I know Burt has retired. What does that have to do with him making an appearance? If I remember right, he was actually retired when he was at osh last year.

Last year he was being honored and his designs were in show center (whatever they are calling it this year....).
That's​ what it has to do with his 'making an appearance'.....or not.

Burt is still active with projects like Stratolaunch. I know for a fact that Burt was not happy at the whole situation when Mac Mclelland called him a failure. If I was him, I wouldn't be hurrying back to Oshkosh.
