Well.... I'm packing to get ready for my Biz trip... and the F-16 isn't ready. Oh well. I guess it will be ready for spring.
But... I have other things to fly. On a bright note... we get to see what 30 Lbs of thrust will do to a shock jet wing.

Well the weather looks absolutely perfect for a Jet Meet. I was down last weekend and there were a few leaves starting to turn. Hope we get some color in them this week. Makes for great Pics when a jet makes a pass with color in the background. Bring all the proto types you guys want. Bob has lots of Gigs in his Camera and will be the chief documentor for the Meet.
My schedule is to be on the way down on Thurs afternoon. Hopefully be there by five O'clock. We will have the keys to the Jet A pump. Bring your Jugs. ( Shelly behave now!!) The airport really appreciates us buying our fuel there. There is camping on site. If you get there before me, please do not pull into the circle ( we got stuck in the wet last June) Cost for this event are on a donation basis. We do not charge fees. The donations go the the airport in appreciation for allowing us use of the facility. Bring your lawn chair for the evening campfire. At this campfire we solve all the aviation problems ever, and then some!!!
Got the parts for the Mig 21 and it should be ready to see if I can land it on the runway this time. OH..... even might be joining the new-wave jet guys and have a Cortex Gyro in the Elan!!! Who'd a thunk.... what can possibly go wrong??? Snaps on takeoff??
Looking forward to seeing all !! Jack Graham aka Capt Crackers

I may have to miss this one guys. I'm still in Louisville, and am working on problems. I was supposed to be heading home by now... but I looks like I may not get out of here until Friday, or even Sat.
If anything changes... I'll let you know. Looks like perfect weather too.

Frank.... you got that straight............ Yaaaaaaaa-hoooooooo. What a weather forecast!! Planning on being there by 4:00 ish. Cut some grass and setting up. The Camping Circle is WET, do not pull in there, I think it is roped off. Lets face it, there is a WHO:E lot of space to camp in!! We'll figure it out when we get there! If everyone would try to remember to give a personal thanks to Jim Kuhn for the hospitality we get for this event, I know that a little spoken gratitude goes a long way.
Looks like we are going to have FUN. CU there!!
