Just returned from my Michigan Jets event, Boy...... What a great place to fly at and most of all, the great event staff. They made me very welcome. George, Curtis, and Chris to mention some had everything running smoothly. This was my first time to attend this event and I had a great time. The weather also was near perfect. Lots of flying was happening all day long, with the flightline being run smoothly between the pilots and flight line bosses.
The banquet last night had great food and I even came away with a Pilot's Award. Man, somebody actually does watch me fly. Thanks guys for the recoqnition. Very much appreciated.
Already looking forward to next year.

I just got home. 9 hour drive but well worth it. I met a lot of new friends and so very special people also.
Big thanks to Curtis for his help on the radio with my hawk.Also to George and his wife, Chris and flight line gang. The food was Awesome.Andy for Jet Pizza J
It was nice to meet Rich, Brad, Keith, and many more that Inot very good with names. Shelly and Dave were super also. Also good to see Lewis.

Special Thanks to Jim Hiller for the fun we had flying the Hawk and Viper together. That was the BOMB!!!!

I managed to burn 15 gals in the Hawk. It flies great.
Can’t wait to see everyone again soon

2014 Michigan Jets is over but the memories will last a long time. Thanks George, Shurlonda ( sorry if I misspelled your name ) and your crew for all your hard work and a well run event. You all make every pilot feel special and at home. I look forward to seeing many of you again yet this year. And thanks Andy for the Pizza Friday night.

I would like to thank all of my Sponsors that helped put Michigan jets on, and all so thank the pilots without either of you it wouldn't be possible for us to have such an event and again thanks to all of you, I hope to see as many of you as possible at Monroe fall phaseout September 26 and 27 at Monroe Custer Airport in Monroe Michigan.
