    A bit too early at this point and Vulcan Inc. plays things fairly close to the vest.

    I spent almost a decade working for Mr. Allen in his legal departmentat at Vulcan from 2001-2009. Part of my role was negotiating contracts for his corporate fligh department and for Flying Hertigage Collection. It was a truly amazing place to work, especially back when the flight department was a real going concern and FHC was begining its acquistions in earnest.

    Given how Vulcan approached all of its affairs, I am fairly certain all such matters have been clearly defined and documented. I believe FHC was converted to a public charity earlier this year. That was genreally the method of development. Build up the entity to stand on its own then spin it off. As for the status of Mr. Allen's other high-profile interests like the Seattle Seahawks, Portland Trailblazers, EMP, etc., those matters may be a bit more complex.

    Very sad news of his passing. He was a truly amazing man with incredible talents and unending generosity.

      Is the Stratolaunch project still going to be carrying on to launch a rocket into orbit from a carrier plane ?



      I presume arrangements were made for Scaled Composites to continue as it is so close to completion.

        All of Paul Allen's various projects were set-up to provide for themselves long before his passing.

        The only "items" that are reportedly under consideration for sale are the Seattle and Portland sports teams.
