Hey Guys....just an FYI... When you're done enjoying the North Carolina Skies the boys up north have a nice laid back event each year.

If you ever thought about visiting New England this is a great laid back event to enjoy. Of course we have to melt some snow first.

Hope to see you there.

Wow, I was doing some spring cleaning in my trailer and found my 2014 Microtel room confirmation. With taxes it was $45.46 a night. I booked the same room this year and it's $74.54 a night. Just went to look at some other hotels. Booked another room at the Microtel through Travelocity for $66.78 a night? Not many rooms left there. Either way they raised their rates almost 50% from last year.

Don't give it away guys! Geeezzz,,, Do you guys realize how difficult it 's been to develop a semi private life so I could walk the flight line without being noticed?
Let's just let this little,,,,umm,,,,"sighting" go by the way side. Now,,,,,,, Get your planes charges, book the hotel, fuel'em up and let's "Get'R Done!!!" Ahhh &^%%$!!!!! Never mind!

Hi Jeff,

I spoke with Lee yesterday & he is doing well. Finished 2nd week of radiation with 4 more to go. We will certainly be together for Kentucky Jets & Georgia Jets. Lee is hoping to "join the fun" in Wilson & is working to get his new Ultima-Tun ready to maiden.

As in year's past, we will be handing out some really cool trophies to many of our pilots.

And of course we will also be awarding the coveted "Wright Stuff" Wright Flyer replica award to a worthy recipient.

Would YOU like to be a part of sponsoring First In Flight Jet Rally? Well,,,, here's your chance. Among the several awards we'll be presenting at Saturday Night Banquet we have four that were offered up for sponsorship. We want to send out a big thanks to the great folks who stepped up to sponsor them. These are really nice trophies that anyone would be proud to have displayed. Check out the list below for trophy sponsors and be sure and thank them when you see them at FIF.
If you would like to sponsor First in Flight at any level of sponsorship we'd love to have you jump on board.
Still up for sponsorship are the Saturday Night Dinner or event T-Shirts Just contact me at [email protected] for details.
