Hi Bill,
Great summary of the days events, Bill. You did a good job. I think David
and I laid it on pretty thick a week
or so ago, but we did have fun. We did not raise much email in response,
but we have had a good turn out since then.
We need Cooper back so we can show off all or latest stuff. He will even
miss the Swap Shop in Clinton this Saturday.
I admire David's strength to hit the basketball goalpost twice in two
flights and walk away with a smile.
It is always hard to crash a plane and real easy to have a good flight. I
crashed my glow trainer that morning and I
know how frustrating it can be.
Bill, you got that Slinger flying nicely and I know it is just a matter of
time you will be teaching me how to do
prop hangs. I bet that Pitts is going to be awesome.
Wingo is the man. He sure can make some great planes. I have given up
trying to guess what he is going to do next.
There is not telling. Everytime I see an EP jet I think of WIngo. Ross
says when he sees the Mulitplex jets: "You need to show that to Wingo!"
I cannot think of a better last name for John. I think it was destiny.
I looked at the weather forecast and it appears we are going to be under
the threat of storms all week. Maybe, by Friday we will get a chance to fly.
We will have to watch the weather daily and look for a good afternoon
coming up.
See you at the Swap Shop on Saturday.
