Re: The long road to Tucson.
Man you just punched my ticket Mike. I've had a bad day at work. Your story and skills in telling your story made my day. Good luck to you and everyone else competing in Tucson.

Re: The long road to Tucson.
Good luck Mike, I know how much this means to you, and not just TAS. I know the help and support you've gotten from everyone mentioned means as much or more than the shootout itself. Let me know if I can help in any way.

Re: The long road to Tucson.
Yeah! Great story, especially that part about that guy Ryan Gonsou.....
Seriously - great job on making the field. So you don't have to go thru the same routine every night in Tucson - you can change it up by sleeping in the front seat of my van one night

Re: The long road to Tucson.
Sweet write-up Mike! Glad the 260s finally together too!! You fly 'er yet? I enjoy being chased so closely by you at every contest too; its a ton of fun and great practice to make sure I am flying at the top of my game! We will have a blast in Tucson Mike!!!

Re: The long road to Tucson.
Great write up Mike!!!! We are all VERY competitive in IMAC, and sometimes we trend to forgot the real reason for doing what we do in this sport. A great article to remind us!!You the Man!!
I'm sure that if I'd been the one flipping on my airplane, that you'd been the first to offer me yours! Congrads to the makingthe Shootout field. Just wish that work would have allowed my attending cause I'm really going to miss hanging with all you guys... I know you'll do well, and look forward to flying with you again soon...Jim |
