Nice looking place ya'll have there Bear. I wish we could make it down. Should be a great time!

[Bear]

Hi Bill,
It was good to meet you and Mason at SEFF.
You had to be wearing a trail from your RV
to the raffle table with all the winning you did!

I will put in a few flights for you.
Barry

[firemanbill]

Thanks Barry, It was very nice meeting you too. I started putting the aco together last night.

Man that is one big bird!:)

I look forward to seeing you again at SEFF next year... oh, and bring enough coffee filters next time!

[Bear]

Here is a prize table list,

[Bear]

more table prizes

[Don Sims]

Bear, please Ban Bill if he plans to attend or register for any prizes. He'll win more than all the other pilots combined! ;)

[firemanbill]

I wish I could go Don! Bunch of nice prizes you got there Bear... I could use me some of those!

[Bear]

Yeah, Don,
He is the only one I know who goes to an event
with an empty trailer and brings it home full!!!

Bill, if you could come to this one I would have
you by my raffle tickets for me.

[Bear]

The pilots choice plaques will be similar
to these.

This is terrible. Not only is this a conflict with another fly in, but I am being forced to go to a family reunion.

[Bear]

FM,
Sometimes family things come up that we must do.
Enjoy it though, I have many family get togethers
in my memory bank that I wouldn't take anything for.
I'll put in a flight for you, would you prefer 3-D or
sport aerobatics? :)

Here are a few more drawing goodies . . .

[FlyingMonkey]

darn family.......

but, I am planning on doing some flying there. the place they hold the reunion, is on a rather large farm.

oh, and since I know you are feeling my pain.... I'll take that GWS warthog :D

[Bear]

It sounds like you have it worked out very well.
OK on the A-10, be here on Saturday and you
can pick it up!:)

Barry

[FlyingMonkey]

heh heh heh..... you didn't say what TIME saturday. Reunion starts at 10... if I stay until noon, leave for Ft. Payne.... 5 and a half hours..... I'll see you around 5:30 pm! :D

[FlyingMonkey]

Hmmm, it's about 610 miless round trip. If I average 38 mpg, at $3 a gallon, that plane costs me just under $49.00. Plus lodging, unless I shoot right back.... Fall asleep at the wheel, ambulance ride, hospital stay....

wow, that would be one expensive free plane!

[Bear]

Sometimes it's the quest itself that is important,
more so than the reward.
Just think, you could lay there in the hospital and
be able to say "I HAVE CONQUERED THE ODDS
AND WON!"::o

[Bear]

I just got back from the field and the weather
is perfect. (Fri evening) NO WIND!
Saturday will be great.
Barry

[Don Sims]

Barry please be sure to post some photos so those poor slobs who can't be there like me can drool over. Have fun and post some details!

[Bear]

I'm going to start another thread on the
pictures from the event.
