Matt will you have the On-Board mic?

I have always liked the " Ok, now I'm going to try a bit of a high G maneuver, my voice may change a bit... her we go... PUUUUSSHHHHH, HUH.. PUUUULLLLLLL,....

It really shows what you go through up there.

Matt does a great job incorporating that "in the cockpit" feel during his shows. You should hear the conversations we have when it's not live on the PA!

Yes, the live from the cockpit stuff will be going on! It's that or suffer through another Bob "BIFF" Sadlers attempt at airshow announcing! God save us!
I have invited Frank "Tinky Wink" Noll to join me for our "formation" demo we have done in the past. If you havnt seen this, it is so cool. You will think we are joined at the wingtips.
I'm also going to take advantage of the time on stage to show Animal Jesky how it's really done! The kid thinkgs he's all the rage. Anyone can do what he does...feet on the ground....looking all calm in the breathable Team Futaba shirt. Kids!

The CAP heads out of PA at sun up Thursday. Shouild be in AZ by Friday!

Airplanes were made to fly! Flying it out...well....I'm paying a starving young kid to do it. round trip is 24 hours. And as cool as the CAP is...that is just too much time to sit in the damn thing at my age! But being the niceguy that I am, I just signed up for an XM radio subscription he can listen to through my Garmin GPS unit. So, I wont want to hear any complaints from the kid!

I wonder if this kid is doing any loops and rolls while listening to that XM broadcast during that 24 hr round trip ??? It sure would make that job worth it.

Matt,

First off that awesome your heading out that way. I cannot wait to check out the great show you put on.
As far as keeping my feet on the ground and doing what I do... You should have called I would have flown the plane to Tucson. I probably could have figured out how to do a few things on the way out there. I can hear it now.

" Matt, Things are well were at 180 indicated but only got 5 mph ground speed. Damn this thing has some vertical."
