Hi All,
I've just returned home earlier today and would like to echo the thanks
made to JimBob & Susan for organising another really great Fly-In.
I would also like to give special & sincere thanks to Susan for all the
hard work put in behind the scenes.
It is so easy to think that these events run themselves, but I know that
it's really like watching a duck swimming.
It looks so serene as it appears to swim effortlessly by, but nobody
sees those feet working like heck under the water's surface.
As usual, there were many great & treasured memories to bring home.
To be with so many great, generous and humourous people is a true honour
and I'm already looking forward to next year!
I'd also like to add a very special "Thank You" to John Moss & Buddy
Wyndham for their kindness and generosity at the auction.
The exchange of emails re the Golden Pedal Award between Moe & JimBob
was really funny and I'm still giggling away as I type this.
I stayed on in OKC after the Fly-In and thought I'd share details of a
great car sticker I saw one evening.
It had an American Flag in the top left-hand corner and some kind of
military badge top-right.
Underneath these was written "Two colors that will never run".
Awesome humor, but so very apt.
Lastly, I made contact with what, to me, was a new outfit in OKC, being
Alliance Air Parts (http://www.allianceairparts.com/)
They have a 690 and a 690B that are being parted out and were most
helpful when I dropped in on them 10 minutes before they closed.
I know we haven't got that many Turbine owners on the List, but there
may be some commonality with parts for the Piston guys.
