Hope your wife is better soon. We have all seen too many hospital rooms this past year. The next one has to be better.

Thanks Paul. Renee has been reading all the posts here and it has touched her greatly. Just the sincere caring from everyone has been a great "high" for her (not to mention the pain pills!!).Thanks again and hope to see everyone soon.

Thanks to Big D for organizing and the BARKs crew for running a drama free event! It was fun seeing everyone and eating Tam and Doug's BBQ! Looking forward to the next one!

Ken, nice pix!

Another fun weekend at the Willow. I wouldn't do the 1020 miles of driving if it wasn't. Thanks to Dave Shoffner, John Haley, Dougie, and Joe C for all the great food. These guys know how to put out a spread night after night. We had some great "Hillclimbing" on Friday and Saturday. I even got a little revenge on Ole' Red.

Many thanks to all the Barks members for putting on a fun weekend.

Another great time at the Willow, thanks to the BARKS club for hosting the Spring Fling and to Dave S for CDing. To the BARKS members who worked the event, thanks as always. I like to thank Kenny Mac again for his time spent programming the Cougar, to Tony Quist for programming the IGyro, and to Douglas for test flying the Cougar, and last for Henry Nyugen for his great building skills on the Cougar. Now onto Top Gun, Team Best In The West. Thanks to Dave Shoffner, Tam Nyugen and John Haley for BBQing all four days.

Joe, the Cougar looks great! Good luck at TG.
T, great shots...sorry I wasn't there to see it all in person. Sounds (as usual) that everyone had a great time.

Ooh!! I like that one too!

Great Event! Thanks Big Dave for all you did to make it happen. Special thanks to the BARKS squad.

Lowell sorry you couldn't make it, best wishes to your wife. So many great 'sticks' and great planes. Thanks to the Hillclimbers for letting me tag along as a rookie.

Such a great, interesting group of guys .. Thanks for a great weekend.

Steve

Awesome weekend flying. Thanks to BARKS, Big Dave for a smooth running event. Always a blast hanging with the Cali Crew.

Thanks to all who brought EPIC grub, and all that missed, the hot dogs ( ribeyes ) and burgers ( filet mignon ) was well worth it.

Douglas, and Dave thanks for busting my B@((S to get out join some great hill climbing..ONLY AT THE WILLOW.

Simple T...Ole Red still loves ya!!

Mike, it was great seeing you and the GJC crew at the willow! You guys flew your butts off and the Jet Legend Viper looked great! Flight after flight and even some off-roading and no damage! Very impressive.

Hi Dantley,

It's great to seeing you there flying the heck out of that big F-16 and F-100. Nice flying planes and skills you got there. Shinichi got his turbine waiver with that viper and he loves to go off-road and trim some grass for us. Maybe we will see an off-road Toyota named Viper in the near future.

Look forward to flying with you again at the Willow.

Mike
