David, it was great meeting you...maybe next time we leave Ali at home so I can get a chance on the sticks.

Status: offline 		as for bobs f100, i saw it as well. he landed her with the gear up. it was a smooth landing, the large wing tanks even stayed on. i pitted directly across from bob and the f100 sat out on front of his pits the rest of the weekend for anyone to get a close up of what his 100's look like. i saw no cosmetic damage whatsoever. i spoke with him about the deadstick, he said that the jetcat data showed a couple of failsafes. appeared to be a nonissue. mclure mitch, you said it didnt look good at all. which part? the grass belly landing? an underbelly grass stain or two? it is amazing how some see things so different. my eyes didnt lie to me, the jet appeared to be darn near unscathed. and i went and got a good look at her sitting unattended in the bvm pits. is it we want to see bad things happen to others? barry

Status: offline 		patrick, i dont even know who mitch is. all i see is a guy who is clueles wanting to stir a pot. he can certainly convince me that my eyes were lying by throwing up a pic or two of this bad situation. heck maybe even the leftovers that were hangar queening in the bvm pit the rest of the weekend. doom and gloom, not for me. i had a great time and it was nice to see everyone at superman. take care, barry
