Jim & Sue,
Thanks for another great Fly-In event. Sandy and I had a great time!
The big secret to the success of the TCFG Fly-Ins is - the people - the
Commander enthusiasts who attend year after year and make our RSVP a
quick and easy decision.
I say this even though one of those special people snuck up behind my
airplane as I was preparing for departure today - and whilst busy with
such things as writing down the ATIS / copying the IFR clearance /
dialing in frequencies / entering the flight plan into the GPS, etc.,
etc. - said person puts what appear to be 2 small railroad ties around
my starboard tire - so that when I go to taxi (and severely cannot) I
wonder through a checklist of possibilities: "Why am I not moving? ... I
have plenty of power ... The parking brake is not on. Oh no! ... God
NO! Did I forget to remove the chocks as I try to taxi right here in
front of Captain Jim Bob, Sue, et al? No wait - I know I didn't! There
was only 1 and I pulled it away - I know I did! ... What in the hell is
going on!?"
The accused shall go un-named so as to prevent retaliation - such as
receiving unwanted rudder awards.
Thanks to all who attended and especially to those who presented or
added their experience and knowledge to the group.
Bob and Sandy

*Hi Bob Steele & all on the TCFG website,*
*Bob great e-mail, don't feel bad about the chocks I have done it more
than I want to admit. I also want to say, great TCFG get together this
year too. I hope we can have the TCFG get together next year at
Dulles/Washington. I think I told almost everyone at the TCFG this year
about my experience going to the new Air & Space Museum at Dulles that
opened in 2004 (it is really special) and it took my breath away! Cpt
Jim/Bob & Sue thank you again for a great job. With our great country
we just have to get things turned around, seeing Kalitta and all of us
getting the $.05/25 tour reinforces to me, not giving up and failure is
not an option. Also hearing Chris Wall's story again never gets old and
what a special story that really exemplifies the American spirit.
Take care all , fly safe and all the best. (give your Commander a hug
and if I can help with Commandeer technical assistance etc please feel
free to call or e-mail me) PS-in the past I have not been able to
e-mail to the TCFG web site but I will try this time*
*YOUR FRIEND,
John Towner* :-)

Hi John,
Nice report on the flyin for those of us who couldn't be there; also the
email from Bob and Sandy. Thanks.
What exactly are you trying to do when you say that you are not able to
e-mail to the TCFG's website? I'd like to fix it if I can get a better
understanding of what is failing.
Please also visit the Commander facebook page and click on "Like" to
indicate that you are a fan. You may recognize a lot of stuff folks have
sent to us over the past couple of years:

Thanks

As a helicopter instructor I would always indoctrinate my new students
by banging in rhythmic fashion on the landing skid the moment they
shutdown the engine, always good for a chuckle.
