Default Re: Northwest Pilots ....the Shootout....and the sunshine

WHEW!!! Thank's for the heads up. Now I don't have to worry about getting the motor home, trailer, airplanes, wife, and self ready to go. I was really dreading having to do all of that junk. I won't even have to worry about how I was going to handle myself infront of all of my new friends, the gas money that I was have to come up with and all of that stuff!! Dave I think I owe you at least half of all my savings for the great information!!!! And I will still be able to afford that new 40%. Way cool Bro!! I think I'll just wait and see it all here on FGTV.

Super Dave,

I don't know about the rest of the Northwest, but being a native of New Mexico myself, I am sure it's just those good ole country manners that have aided you in advising our intermediate pilots to stay home. Thank you and I want you to know, I personally, am going to do all I can to convince them to just stay home too. I warn you though, I have little to no influence with them, on matters such as this. You have to understand, the Predator is a hungry man . He's a wood eatin machine, the likes of which you can only find at your local Wal Mart! He smells wood in the desert and he thirsts the showdown........and a cold beer. It's gonna be a tough battle. Keep your eye out for a northern exposure just in case I fail too.

Don't think we don't appreciate you looking out for our behalf, we do. You are a true gentleman.

Rainman

There are just some things a guy has to do for his country....or, all over his country! For us it is drive...fly...drive...fly.. We are so happy to be invited, we won't even notice the drive.

I was raised in Fort Sumner and once even lived in the South Valley in Albuquerque. It used to be good country living. I am sure it has grown immensely as everywhere else.

Not sure what to say. Rev told us we had to write something up here. If I was going to write something up here I would write a lot of different things. Things about flying and such. And how we should help the people in South Africa and such. And I believe that we should educate all the people in south america about rc airplanes. That would really help the people in the US to read maps better. They could even find thier way to the Tuscan shootout of they needed to.
