Brian Binnie autographed 8 x 10 photo SpaceShipOne Pilot died Sept. 15, 2022

Description

I am offering an 8 x 10" photo that was autographed by the late Brian Binnie.  This one came from one of the books he published last year.  It is in as new condition....a quality piece and will be mailed well protected.
As a test pilot for Scaled Composites, the aerospace design firm founded by Burt Rutan (and today owned by Northrop Grumman), Binnie took off on board the SpaceShipOne rocket plane on Oct. 4, 2004. His 24-minute flight reached a peak altitude of 69.6 miles (112 km), surpassing the internationally recognized von Kármán line separating Earth's atmosphere from outer space and broke the record for a winged-craft set by the X-15 rocket plane in 1963.  He published a book about his experience in 2021.
Binnie was the 442nd person to fly into space
.
Arrangements are being made for Binnie to be laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia.
