I am really looking forward to coming back to the US for the Tucson Shootout. I am still amazed with the generosity of the sponsors, organisers and support crew that goes with it.

Another great example of this came about when I pm'd Tony Quist about buying his Extra 260 to fly in the Shootout. His reply was "you don't need to buy it to use for the comp".
Such an offer was very humbling. On top of this, I talked with Tony tonight on the phone and as well as using his aircraft he is picking me up from Phoenix Airport with the model in the trailer and driving me to Apache Junction to meet up with the rest of the crew. I am overwhelmed by such help and support.
TRUE GIANTS STYLE.

I look forward to catching up with old friends and meeting new ones along the way.

All I can say now is SEE YOU AT THE SHOOTOUT.
