Hi All,

I have a son on the World Team for the USA (Brett Wickizer), so myself and my husband, Mike, are here to lend our support for the team. I had an idea to try to post pictures for all the supporters back home; I'm going to try to let you all know a little bit about what the team is doing and how their stay is here in Portugal. Hopefully there will be some pictures and journal entries that will help explain what's going on. I can't promise I'll be able to keep it up every day, but I'll do my best.

I know you all want pictures of planes. . .and more planes. . . and maybe a few pilots. Hopefully that part will come later this week and into the next. I'll try to post here when I add more pictures so you'll know if there is an update.

For all of you visiting the site from other countries, I'd be honored if you chose to take a look too! Looking forward to meeting a lot of you and seeing you fly.

Here is the site: http://2009worldsportugal.shutterfly.com/
I realize to make comments you might have to sign up on Shutterfly; I'm sorry for that but it is free and hopefully won't pose any problems for you if you choose to do it.

Hope to see you there!

Not necessarily Cindy... us Europeans prefer wifes and girlfriends primarily.[sm=thumbs_up.gif]

cindywick

David I'm so glad you pointed that out! Must be a culture thing, because I could swear those crazy Americans prefer the planes.

David Bathe

Cindy... That's exactly what we say!

dhal22

is that wives or girlfriends or wives AND girlfriends?

Dear Cindy,
As I lived about a decade in the US and traveled allot all over Europe I can share with you my view
Regarding the discussed issue – thus both sides of the ocean are the same. It is just due to man's internal emotions structure/system,
Make it easer for him to communicate with piece of wood then with a woman... :-)

Cindy was definitely a shutter-bug today - she was out at our site with Mike for most of the afternoon snapping away with her camera. I can't wait to see what she has there today.

Cindy - it was nice to meet you today and I certainly will enjoy your view of the event.

The Nats just didn't seem complete this year, and I think I know why. . . I didn't get to wish you a Happy Birthday. . . .so belatedly, HB!!!

cindywick

Thanks Amran, for your worldly perspective. This explains a lot. Sometimes we women think you communicate about like you would with a stick; now I see it's just that you are confused.

cindywick

Derek, you have put me in the hot seat. . .now I have to get those pics uploaded sometime tonight I guess.

Very nice to meet you too. Probably won't have to worry about me on the practice site tomorrow, but I'm sure I'll see you again through the competition.

cindywick

Having a few computer problems, but managed to get some more pictures up.

Wow,

Judge 3, Mr. Liu, certainly seems to be showing his bias. I hope that guy gets dropped from the panel.

Cindy, GREAT JOB! Almost as good as being there.... sorta. Thank you for making the effort.

On the planes, women and girlfriends thing; what's the difference? We fly high, we crash and burn. The one we want is perfect and the one we have isn't. If we take care of them they perform their best (usually) and if we abuse them they do not. We shine them extra carefully after they've shown us a good time, and we want everybody to envy us for having the one we have. You'll have to admit the lines get fairly blurred. VBG

Tell the guys I wish them well.
