Just to brag to the rest of you, I was on a lay-over in KPDX right after the Fly-In (that I missed) and was treated to a "private Commmander Fly-In" when I spent the day making the rounds with JimBob and his AC-680E. What a great ride that was, and I got to live a bit of the Pacific Northwest aviation life-style. It's a good thing they have going up there ... except they have silly ideas about making airplanes act like boats, which is just wrong. (Airplanes are an evolutionary step beyond boats, putting floats on airplanes is de-evolution.) I did enjoy getting a recap on the Fly-In and I am impressed with some of what JimBob is working on for the future. He's got some great ideas and we're lucky to have is energy and drive. Sir Barry, I am so sorry I missed seeing you whilst you were here in the Colonies. Next time, old boy. Wing Commander Gordon Life is not simple anywhere. Probably less so elsewhere. ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 01:53:02 PM PST US From: "Barry Collman" Subject: Re: Commander-List: Private Fly-In --> Commander-List message posted by: "Barry Collman" Hi Keith, I missed meeting up with you again mate! Next year, I'll make sure you either have an assignment in Dayton, or that you get the week off! All I have to do is find your bosses address........ I think you got a taste of what JimBob Fly-Ins are like at Hillsboro. Well, that was only for starters. They get better each year!
