Subject: Commander-List: TCFG Fly-In
Thanks to everyone who attended the TCFG Fly-In at Willow Run Airport
and made it such a special event. We had an awesome time and are still
wearing big smiles from the memories!! Couldn't ask for a greater group
of people to spend a few days with telling stories, laughing and talking
Commanders. We'll let Moe tell you about a special pair of boots he
received/won at auction for being such a "kick ass pilot"
A big thank you to the group of attendees for your generosity in raising
over $2,000 for the Blue Goose restoration!! WOW!!!
If you've never attended you really need to make it a priority to come
next year and meet some of these incredible people. You're guaranteed to
have a great time. BTW. we're taking suggestions on where to have the
event next year -- some suggested venues include the Washington DC area,
Branson, MO, and Colorado Springs.
~Jim & Sue Metzger
P.S. Always remember to remove your chalks prior to taxi (Bob & Bob)

John,
Thanks so very much for arranging the tour of Kalitta's amazing operation.
It was definitely one of the highlights of the event and does give you a g
limmer or hope about our economy. Nice to see a thriving business in today
's chaotic business climate.
Was wonderful seeing you again, John!! Will keep you posted on next year's
event.

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 re
ally special) and it took my breath away! Cpt Jim/Bob & Sue thank you agai
n for a great job. With our great country we just have to get things turne
d 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 Wal
l's story again never gets old and what a special story that really exempli
fies 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 T
CFG web site but I will try this time
YOUR FRIEND,
John Towner :-)

Jim=2C
Thanks very much for being my P.R. man! It is such an honor to be the only
one named in your email about the event.
Surely you and Peter heard the conversation that I had with the Lineman at
Active Aero Services at departure time. It seems that he also is a boots a
ficionado and was duly impressed with the fact that they are genuine Mexica
n Leather. Later=2C while refueling at Hill City=2C Kansas (HLC) the City
Manager (also the Airport Manager) saw them in the back of the plane and wa
s so happy about the boots that he smiled broadly. As an aside=2C this is
really a nice airport with $ 5.25 avgas. Next week plans call for a flight
to Los Angeles=2C so naturally a photo of the boots was emailed to a young
lady that I hang out with when in the Los Angeles area=2C and she has sugg
ested that they not be worn in the West Los Angeles/ Eastern Beverly Hills
area. Obviously she is concerned that some of the Hollywierd types might m
ug me to get the boots. I can hardly wait until Halloween=2C they will loo
k so in style with my pirate suit.
The kick ass pilot thing had not come to mind=2C however=2C it has become t
he truth=2C and will be repeated by myself repeatedly.
Hopefuly=2C Sue is at least half as happy with her new bracelet=2C as I am
with the boots.
This was really a fun event! The trip to Ford=2C and actually being in a 7
47-400 sim are things that will never be forgotten.
Branson or D.C. would be good for next year=2C but in the past went to Colo
rado Springs several times with the first ex wife to vesit her relatives=2C
and don't remember much of anything good there.

Hi John,
Let me know if you still have problems with emailing to the site. I couldn't
replicate the problem the last time I checked, so if it still acts up, let
me know exactly where in the site you are when the problem occurs.
Thanks
Nico
