Even though it had been a few years since I had made it to the meeting, it was just like catching up with family: I was immediately at ease and received with open arms. Thanks for every one for coming and specially for those who brought their Commander and again a great thanks for the speakers and organizers, specially to Jimbob and Sue: many thanks! Happy to join the group and very sad being on the ramp as I waved the last plane good bye. For those who where there, I came across an Aero Commander (Barry this is specially for you & thanks for bringing operation StarWatch) by "accident" (don't like the use of that word) and we sadly can say that another Commander ended its life last year as a cargo plane... Check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCtdjiTtTW0 I checked the registration and indeed it is a 1959 straight 500 sn819 registered as N345MP with 'fake' wing tips and ironically piloted by a Canadian Menonite Pilot (the plot thickens or continues?) Unfortunately the Venezuelan government has the tendency to make a show and burn these airplanes... Thanks Again Commanders and hopefully until next year! -------- 560 Dreamer Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=431195#431195 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message commander-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Commander-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/commander-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/commander-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
