Wow! Thank you Aaron, and yes, thanks everybody for coming out to fly!
We had some really great flights this weekend ... would really love to see
people's posts, pictures/videos and some stories about their flights :-)
Aaron, do we have Friday/Sunday flight cards ... I bet we had close to
double that!
