Hi Vinny,
Thanks for the nice pictures. Its amazing how nice the weather looks in those pictures huh ??
Did you get any pictures of the camels that someone states he saw ?? I could have sworn they were horses
BTW, Does anyone know the manufacturer of the table in this picture?? It looks heavy duty enough for a project I have in mind
Adil

Don't know why Adil is not going to VA. Steve is offering a free meal for any flyer and his family . I guess it's because you won't put his family in the trailer.

I had every intention of going but work commitments at the last minute.....[
]I don't think Steve has a very good idea on what is about to hit his house with the F-Troop going to VA
Before you start stuffing your big pockets and that ugly hat for the next few days, make sure "double duty" gets his share I guarantee you it won't be a pretty sight if he doesn't get his........

the reason we are all paying attention to Don here in this shot is because he is claiming he can put his arms around himself far enough to touch his shoulders .. this is as far as he got ... also, for some reason, if you look at Alan ( aka Mongo) seems like his brain had a power failure ( static discharge ?? ) the very moment this picture was snapped [X(]

. No wonder he does not want to drive to VA, when he has all of the free sand that he could ever want right at FBF. I bet this weekend he pitches a tent and plants a palm tree there. What a great place for a used magic carpet store on top of that sand dune where all of Brooklyn can see him. This past weekend we all got a flight in before the rain started, well except for Adil who was busy doing the wax-on wax- off thing on Vinny's car. By the time Adil was done waxing and got to the flight line after asking for numerous kero donatations it started to rain. The only thing Adil fears more than rain is soap. So under the canopy we all went. Adil brought his new skymangler squawk under there too, trying numerous time to get that new motor of his to run. It was a little chilly now at the field but that Taco Turbine Adil has in his plane gave us plenty of heat from all those failed starts with the motor belching nice blue propane flames. I think he had so many failed starts he raised the tempature in Central Park by several degrees. After talking with Adil the motor did finally start. The cause was simply that his turban was dirty. Wojtek on the other hand got in many flights with his perfectly running JetCat 120. Wojy would have got more flights in if the dummy did not take his plane apart everytime Alan sprinkled a little water on Wojys head. Pollocks are like turkeys, they have to be kept inside when it rains or they will drown. Every time Alan sprinkled a little on Wojy he would looked up at the sky ! Finally the humane society came and gave Wojy a hat. Speaking of hats, Marlen had his trademark cap on his head on Sunday. I think it was holding everything together becuase he had a hell of a hangover and he too did not fly. Marlen is excused from flying becuase he is in training for next years Florida jets. That right Marlen is trying out for the 2007 team sponserd by MONS VENUS. One more late breaking news item, we have new pictures of Adil wearing no socks again with his dirty dirty feet showing. Just not becoming at all. Also in the shoe dept news, Eddy wore some type of leather on his feet while his skippys are at the shoe store getting a major make over. I dont know if they where once shoes but I bet his dog had fun with them, well chewed but no holes. Tanks Eddy for stepping up to the plate and handling that issue. Much more to talk about, Wojtek has been making lots news with his landing phobia but I will save that for the next chapter in life at F - TROOP

25 - 30 crosswind, shifting all over the place. I got 4 flights in and every landing was a butt cheek clenching experience ... had to come in at 30 - 40 deg tot he runway.... once in the air however it was fun . Tomorrow should be calmer by a good 10 mph ..

Here are some pics of the F troop in action in Albany.
Except for some showers Saturday a good time was had by all.
I am sure Don can add some captions to some of the pics

Eddie, nice shots ! captions will be forth coming tonite. All I can say is Joe Giasson is not going to be happy when he finds out that your taking his spot in the f Troop tent at Liberty Bell. I got some special pictures from Capital Jets that I plan on sharing later too

Frank must had a rough day. Look like you guys had a lot of fun.
I wll see you at the Liberty Bell Jet Rally.

Angel, Frank was practicing for Joe Giassons job as F troop mascot. Joe has given up flying all together now and we suspect its only a matter of time before hes in a nursing home. We want to make sure that Frank is going to be as good as Joe so we gave Frank some chair time after he had his fill of stick time with his F-16

Here are some scary moments from Capital Jets. We had a little rain event and right away Mike and Vinny showering right at the edge of our tent. You can take the boyz out of brooklyn, but you cant take the Broooklyn out of the Boyz.
