Default Capitol Jets, a heartfelt THANK YOU

Hi folks,

I want to yet again thank everyone that participated in our 4th Capitol Jets event!!!
On behalf of my entire Cap-Jet Team, THANK YOU!!!

You guys made our day! Our team of guys and gals, are very pleased to see that you all had a really great time!


Hopefully,by the time I see you again, I will have resolved the mystic ECU issues that dampened my desire to demo the Draken throughout the weekend. And showcase the jet for all to see, it's really a cool jet when airbourne.

Take care for now guys, stay safe.

Capitol Jets staff.

Hey Frank! The guys from G-Force were very comfortable. Your folks were both accomodating and courteous. The Air Boss was both knowledgeable and entertaining keeping the spectators locked-in with information and that's a tuff job. We liked how he maneuvered around the question of "cost". Good move! We don't want to scare anybody away. The very relaxed and fun atmosphere was a real treat. Lots O turnin' & burnin' with yankin' & bankin' !! Looking forward to more next year. It's on our calendar!!!! A real "MELLOW" Jet Rally.

Amazing.....Frank thanks US!

I know jet guys are grateful, in general, just to have places to fly. But CJ is just so superbly organized/set up and w/ no nicer/helpful folks anywhere running the show than Frank and Art and the So. Albany gang. Plain old fun and low key...a Pilot's Meet in the best sense of the phrase......THANK YOU CJ!

Frank,

A big thank you from Ann and I. Once again, we enjoyed ourselves tremendously. And, of course, a big thanks to all those who make CJ run so smoothly.

I really liked the flying hours. Given that the runway is oriented north/south, and that we are flying from the west side, setting the start time to 10:00 am and extending the stop time to 8:00 pm Friday and 7:00 pm Saturday was a great move. We don't have the sun blasting into our eyes during the morning, and we still get lots of flying time. Plus, I'm sure having the start time set later went over well with the full scale pilots that wanted to get out but didn't have to do so too early. I know that for myself, facing the sun in the morning, I would not be flying until 10:00 am anyway. Great move.

Thanks, and see you at LBJR!
