Sitting in the Denver airport about to make my connection to Tucson. Can't wait for this year's version! These guys outdo themselves every year, and this year looks to be no exception!

Well I don't feel bad for 2 reasons. If a guy can't land a high performance tail dragger downwind then he needs to find new line of work. Also, I kind of look at it as doing him a favor, he won't have to fly a Cap any more.

Dan

I too am kidding of course.

So...not allowing go arounds in my plane....I FIRED HIM! He was bummed....he just got a new place for he and his wife and 5 kids... all under 5 years old. He's a little in debt, but he broke the rules. He begged me not to, but I let him go anyway. So DAN....well done! Thanks for the heads up on the bad landing! Dell and the wife and 5 ...wait...I think it's 6 kids now will be fine. Too bad I heard about this before he caught his flight home... I cancelled his ticket too. He's on his own to get home now. Think his wife is sick as well and he has her medicine.... but he'll be home in a week or so if he's lucky with a ride east. She can wait...
Again...thanks for keeping me posted about the progrss of my CAP.

I'm off to bed now to sleep like a baby!

Matt

(for those of you that don;t know me...the above was just for entertainment...I didnt fire anyone...YET!)
