Hi folks,
The website for my book is up and running. As yet there is no release date for
the book, but I believe it will be available some time early next year.
Thanks to the TCFG folks for allowing me to use some of their pictures and also
to Jim Addington for his picture of his beautiful 500A.
The website is www.JoshStaffordBooks.com - let me know what you think, please.
Best regards,
Andrew.

This is awesome....perhaps the left ought to open their eyes....
Dear Friends and Family, I hope that you will spare me a few minutes of
your
time to tell you about something that I saw on Monday, October 27. I had
been
attending a conference in Annapolis and was coming home on Sunday. As
you may
recall, Los Angeles International Airport was closed on Sunday, October
26,
because of the fires that affected air traffic control. Accordingly, my
flight,
and many others, were canceled and I wound up spending a night in
Baltimore.
My story begins the next day. When I went to check in at the United
counter
Monday morning I saw a lot of soldiers home from Iraq. Most were very
young and
all had on their desert camouflage uniforms. This was as change from
earlier,
when they had to buy civilian clothes in Kuwait to fly home. It was a
visible
reminder that we are in a war. It probably was pretty close to what train
terminals were like in World War II.
Many people were stopping the troops to talk to them, asking them
questions
in the Starbucks line or just saying "Welcome Home." In addition to all
the
flights that had been canceled on Sunday, the weather was terrible in
Baltimore
and the flights were backed up. So, there were a lot of unhappy people
in the
terminal trying to get home, but nobody that I saw gave the soldiers a
bad
time.
By the afternoon, one plane to Denver had been delayed several hours.
United
personnel kept asking for volunteers to give up their seats and take
another
flight. They weren't getting many takers. Finally, a United spokeswoman
got on
the PA and said this, "Folks. As you can see, there are a lot of
soldiers in
the waiting area. They only have 14 days of leave and we're trying to
get them
where they need to go without spending any more time in an airport then
they
have to. We sold them all tickets, knowing we would oversell the flight.
If we
can, we want to get them all on this flight. We want all the soldiers to
know
that we respect what you're doing, we are here for you and we love you."
At that, the entire terminal of cranky, tired, travel-weary people, a
cross-section of America, broke into sustained and heartfelt applause.
The soldiers
looked surprised and very modest. Most of them just looked at their
boots. Many
of us were wiping away tears.
And, yes, people lined up to take the later flight and all the soldiers
went
to Denver on that flight. That little moment made me proud to be an
American,
and also told me why we will win this war.
If you want to send my little story on to your friends and family, feel
free.
This is not some urban legend. I was there, I was part of it, I saw it
happen.
