These two were on a matted photo print of a mural of Dryden Flight Research Center by Robert McCall with a number of other signatures from Dryden administrators and research pilots from the late nineties, but I can't quite make out who these might belong to.

Looks to be a David "B" or "R" with a dotted "i":

Quite a flourish, but I can't make heads or tail of it.

Top one is Dana Purifoy, research pilot at Dryden at the time. The lower one is a complete mystery to me.

The bottom one bears a rough similarity to LeVar Burton, who portrayed Geordi LaForge in Star Trek: The Next Generation. If so, it's a poor example, almost as if the pen wasn't working properly, or he was in a hurry.

All times are CT (US)
