I cam back from KY Jets last night. I got there Thursday afternoon and on my first flight with my Roo, I lost orientation of my airplane because flying ant got into my right eye and my Roo went into the forest. I was able to kill the turbine as soon as I realized that I could not see what the airplane was doing. I spent most of my time (3 day) looking for the airplane and finally recovered it on Saturday evening. I would like to thank those that helped me look for my airplane (Scott from SKS video, Patrick Frost, Lance & Randy, Dwyane Woods). Special thanks to my GOOD FRIEND Dr. J for helping me retrieve my airplane. You guys are real true friends unlike those that I considered my friends that never bothered to help a friend out when in need.
I would also like to thank Mr. Larry Scotts of KY for spending his morning hours on Saturday looking for my airplane in his UltraLight airplane and Jessica the site FBO for providing me with an ATV all day Saturday to use in the search and retrieval.
As my father (may his soul rest in peace) use to tell me, “a friend in need is a friend indeed”. I would also like to mention than my true wingman Ben Burden, called me on my cell phone from Ohio when I was in the vast woods looking for my airplane all by my lonely self. I mentioned to him that I was by myself in the woods and he told me to walk out and he will be on his way from Ohio to KY to help me look for my airplane. Ben just came back from Hawaii on honeymoon and was ready to jump into his car in Ohio and drive down to KY to help his friend. I found my airplane about 45 minutes after I spoke to Ben in the woods and stop him from driving all the way down to Lebanon KY. You are a true WINGMAN my friend and the Ghost will never forget your gesture.
I met a lot of people at the event and thanks to Alaska Bob for my Saturday afternoon BBQ lunch.
Overall, the event was a success. As Patrick stated in his post, anybody with suggestions on how to improve this event or any concerns should direct it to Lewis through PM. Do not hesitate to tell him what he can change to improve the event. Lewis has a broad shoulder and would be more than willing to hear your thoughts.
Best Regards
Ben
