Hey Jason. The new runway is HUGE! Very nice.
We have some ostrich at club now, they are cool, but if you dont keep an eye on them they will eat your tools and peck at your plane.
How is the edge coming along?

I was showing off my new skills at robertson thanks to afp

The rebuild is going a bit slow, third fix in as many flights so I kinda lost momentum.
Yeah, flying the sim is a great way to improve the skillz. Weather looks good for this weekend!
