Go Tom Go!!.....I can't thank him enough for doing what he is doing for us. My airplanes are riding on first/premium class . My God so much room in that trailer...airplane, tool box, tents, chairs....Suburban etc..thank you so much.
Tom's spirit is remarkable and very healthy for our hobby.

Looking forward to see you guys at TIMPA.

Tom has been so generous with his time by taking more than two full weeks away from work to help transport all of our equipment to Tucson! I dropped off my plane and Lou Matustik's plane on Monday morning at Tom's house. The night before he had been up until 4am replacing the exhaust system on his truck-what dedication! It is so nice to fly into Tucson, show up at the TIMPA flying field an hour later and start practicing immediately. Looking forward to seeing many of you on Saturday morning.
Thanks again Tom!

Quique, just got off of the Nextel with Tom, he is almost to Abilene Texas. Tom wanted me to ask you if you think there is enough room in that trailer LOL.

Talked with dad, he said his goal is to make it to El Paso, Texas tonight, then finish his trip tomorrow. To get to El Paso, he still has at least another 550 miles to go as of now. Still has a good bit of road left ahead of him today!

Cant wait to see you guys Saturday!

That's so Kurt LOL!
I remember running into Tom last year at a Flying J, what are the chances? Thanks Tom for helping out so many. Not fearing a fork lift through the crate is worth more than the shipping cost alone.

Marian and I left Tuesday morning and stopped at Elephant Butte NM Wednesday afternoon for a little stay. We planning on heading over to DA to see Tony Friday. Guess we will see several of you Saturday sometime.
