Who's 'he'  ?

Larry Walters, the man in 1982 who performed the flight is dead now.

Of Kent Couch, the man who performed the flight yesterday, since he was
inspired by Larry Walters, I am assuming that he did look in that aspect
too. I've not read any information about what specifically he had done
regarding any real or imagined FAA rules, though, have you? You're
writing as if you have some information. If you have, please post those
links here.

Of course he's very much  alive, he has been on the talk shows for one
year (that's what the information I read said, not that I would know
myself), and he had a number of corporate sponsors, of whom I'm guessing
were checking him to make sure that he wasn't doing anything that would
reflect badly on them. Corporate sponsors tend to have that effect, you
know.
