She is a delight to fly, and even makes me look good.

Status: offline 		Just got in a little while ago. Had a great time. Thanks to the MS gang for the great time. It was nice to meet a some really nice pilots who made the event for the first time and to meet again some long time friends. It was nice to put a face to an RCU name. Robert / Andy

There were just a few of us this morning and the L29 (full scale) took off and did a super low downwind pass at full throttle.

BTW-the Saturday meal was fantastic.

Vernon, thanks for the watch. Sorry about the David. Did your girlfriend like the smooth stop and perma grits files.

Scott, the L-1011 was top notch.

Status: offline 		I had a blast as always!
The winds were a little annoying the first couple of days, but it did have the side effect of keeping the airspace open for me to play by myself for a while.
Sam Snyder's Vulcan and Bagostix's A-10 are both awe inspiring models. And Steven Ellzey did a great job of sparing the destruction of any more Ford trucks when he launched the nuke off the Vulcan on Saturday. [)]
Dinner Saturday evening was excellent as usual.

I haven't missed this event since 1994 and I will definitely be back again next year.

Status: offline 		I had not been to Mississippi in a few years. I really enjoyed myself. Great seeing all the faces I been missing and meeting new ones. Thanks Vernon, Dennis, and David!!! Sat night dinner was great as usual!!!!

Also love the cheap Jet-A.... filled my empty tanks when I arrived. Flew them empty and filled them up before I left.

Hope everyone was not like me with me camera in the car the whole time. Let see some of the photos.

Thanks

Status: offline 		Great event.

One thing I hate is that it ends on Saturday... I could stay the week there. But other than that this is one of the best events that I go to next to Waco. Got to see alot of jets that I wanted to see with my own eyes instead of on video. Ol Buck was spotting me and saw me rushing a little bit on my aproach to land as my jet was getting at a wierd angle, told me to take my time, came out to be the worst landing I have done in my life just playing Buck. Good looking out.

Bob. You should of seen the tears in my girlfriends eyes when she found out that would didnt want to trade. I had nightmares about that watch. It just keep on ticking like it was on my wrist and would not let me sleep

Lets not forget THE MORNING AFTER MUDBUGS Good thing I didnt eat but one or two.

See you guys at the next event

David
