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.

Alan

Hello,

We are excited to be apart again of this event. We are doing the Raffle plane. This will be the fourth year with many co-sponsors to make the plane complete. The plane will be worth over $8,000.00. I will post the photos before we ship the plane later this week. We have a nice surprise for this years scheme. Again we want to thank the many sponsors and Aerotech crew who supported this project. Lastly you must be present to but tickets.

Thanks

John

I will be driving down with Twizlar from Albuquerque Sunday afternoon. I expect to be out there at TIMPA flying my ARSE off all-darn-day.

I cannot freakin' WAIT to see all the FG buds down there.

OK, the man does have a distinctive trailer.

Rolling Thunder · 09-24-2007, 07:40 PM

That trailer tracks great at 100mph. And I am short enough to deal with the back door.

Rolling Thunder · 09-24-2007, 07:45 PM

Ryan and Mike,

I need the trailer and pickup. I have to bring 2 display planes down for The Smart-Fly tent.

**WOODisGOOD** · 09-24-2007, 08:01 PM

I fly in monday morning. I cant wait, a whole week of not building airplanes.
