I think we've done just about everything we can to get the word out to Tailwind drivers, and everybody else for that matter. Congrats to Bob Danner for a great pic of his new tri gear in "What Our Members Are Building and Restoring". Just wish he'd told the world just how fast it is! I spoke with Joe Schumacher of EAA yesterday, our plans for the 50th are about as firm as they're gonna get. Joe is working to get us two slots in the fly by pattern for the week. VERY IMPORTANT: We are gonna need to get some cue cards for the announcer to read at various times during the week. These can take the form of five or six paragraphs, each one to be read independently, take about a minute per paragraph to read over the p.a. system and addressing something of interest to the crowd. IE one reading might cover history of the TW, another speed with various engines, another might say a few words about modernization of the design, etc. Is there anyone who would like to take on the job of preparing a few such announcements and get them to EAA in a month or so?
