Norm, that is a GREAT write up !!! I personally know and feel your excitement all to well, and know how proud you are of your son. Its a feeling like no other. There are two or three father/son teams here in the U.S. that I know of where our sons also made the cut to fly in the Tucson Shootout, there is no other feeling like it and we understand just how proud you are of your son. Congradulations to you and your son, look forward to seeing and meeting you in Tucson. Have a safe trip and will see you when you get there.

The picture of the metal boxes being used to transport the airplane reminds me of the movie 'The Worlds Fastest Indian.' Good luck in the contest and I hope you guys have a lot of fun.

I was gonna say, that some bad ass box!! Let's hope it turns out a little better than the container he shipped the Indian in. I loved that movie by the way!

Best of luck Chris!

norm what a great write up.
having stood next to norm on many occasions while chrisby is flying at comps, i have had the chance to feel the pride that flows from him. it's great to see a father like norm put so much support into his son while sacrificing his own free time.
the amount of effort and committment that chrisby applies to his flying is surely reward enough for norm.
no matter what the outcome at tucson this is an experience of a lifetime for both father and son.
well done guys. enjoy the ride.
