Oh yeah, one more thing for the out of towners --- We will have a fleet of planes availaible, and at your.... ahem, disposal. Come on out and we'll have you in the air as much as you can fly.

If you are planning on shipping your plane out, please contact Gunshow (Tom Powell) or Sweetpea (Sam Gaglio) for a shipping address. We'll get ya taken care of.

Looking forward to this one guys!! High time for a good west coast event, and we couldn't do it at a better location!

More to come!

MD

Agree 100% on the mode 1 thing, these guys insist on driving on the wrong side of the road, someday they will learn.
As for the SX, beggers can't be choosers, I might take you up on your offer and borrow that plane for a minute or 2 and probably a mile high, thanks Anyway.
