Mark,
It was scorching, torrid and hot for the Last Hurrah of Capitol Jets, held last weekend at S. Albany Airport, in Selkirk, NY. I believe we had about 26 pilots from 5-6 states attend for over 30 cumulative hours of jet flying-no noontime lineups, scale slots,vendor demosor other interruptions. Lunches and dinners were served at the field with washdowns. Domenic Mirabello won the JPOTop Gun award and the event was virtually mishap free. Frankmay compose a more detailed report which should be forthcoming. Jorge and Karen E. were also present andmay write an article on the event for RCJI.
A GRANDFINALE to a great series of jet events here in the northeast.

Jim has had a fantasy to be a cone head all of his life, he now answers to the name Beldar!

Don: Ha. Funny guy.

Mark: it was just too damn hot to be wearing a fur coat. So I got rid of it. Like it so much, I'm keeping it off.

Mark,
The "2013 CAPITOL JETS-The Last Hurrah" report was written and sent to Greg for publication in Contrails. A full report, including captioned photos and commentary, may be published in a future RCJI magazine. Sorry you missed this final event here in Dist. II.
