Roger and Jerry,
Johnnie and I had a fantastic time. This is a wonderful event and we will always have it on our calender each year. It was great seeing all of our friends. Can't wait until next time!

Hey roger
Hopefully the Panther stays in one piece, and in the air for a while. I had a great time flying it at route 66 Jets………………... The videos were no big deal. I just need to remember to do them when I go to events. It is easy to sit around and watch and forget to pull the camera out……………..BTW my son and I stopped in Springfield on the way home. In two hours we saw the Abraham Lincoln Library and Museum, Lincoln's grave, And Lincoln's home. Apparently Sunday afternoon is a good time to go. I pulled in to all three locations and parked in spot #1 with almost no one at any of the sites. If anyone does go, you should give yourself more time to see the library and museum.
Thanks,
Joe Felonk

Thanks for a great event. I had a FANtastic time. Hadn't flown the F15 since 2007 and everything in it is original from 1994 except the battery. The landing gear (Century Jet) rotate with 8 doors sequencing on a old Byron air valve. Over 70 flights on it.
