I'm new here so why wouldnt I believe the 27 number. Mark could have been flying a prolific number of hours and for decades. As experimental builders/operators, the idea is to try new engineering ideas. I have friends who have run into issues with fueling, cooling, you name it. I think it's more important to position ones self for successful unanticipated landings than to hopelessly believe they cant happen. Considering the great job mark did in his Bean field visit, 26 priors for practice doesnt seem totally unrealistic! ;)
