Mikey,
Great write-up, and like we talked about yesterday its all about the experience. The other thing that Mike has done during this along with Big Lew, Wayne, BJ, Dan K, and the local guy's is help a bunch of us get into IMAC. Alway's taking the time to answer questions, give pointers, and I think on the last day of his local contest he called for 80% of the basic guy's, plus he won his class! Good Luck at the TAS Bro.

If you’re not having fun, you’re in it for the wrong reasons.

Well said, I agree 100%. Great write up Mike.

I don't know if anyone else has asked you, but it would be a good thing if you 'blogged' your experience at Tucson for those of us that can't go this year.

Mike,

You should have plenty of time to do a blog since you will be done flying each day by noon. But, if you have an air card bring it because if you stay where I suggested, they only have dial-up.

My cell phone doubles as an air card, so I'll do that. Thanks, Marian! It's gonna rock!
