When he did the Global Flyer, their HQ for the mission was Salina, KS, as I'm sure many of you remember.

They allowed the students to work with their team, and he spent a good amount of time interacting with the students. Every report was that he was an incredibly normal, down-to-earth guy, that was more than willing to take time out of his day to talk with the students.
