Goose, good to hear your getting off work. Really missed you last year.
Rich, yes, you just "have" to come to this event, and bring Jack with you. Can't win the "gong" award if you don't play.
Jim, had fun with the gong last year, looking forward to having it again.
Dave, about time you showed up again, or you'll loose your membership.

Andy, we missed you while you were competing at JWM last year. Be sure to bring the family.
Ben, hope to see you, Frosty, and Goose perform your signature synchronized formation routine, and of course bring your son to fly also.

Don, will be good to have you this year. Haven't seen you in some time. I assume you'll be flying in as usual. E/W runway of airport will be open for full scale at all times. Can shut down N/S runway that we fly from if needed.

Hey, Lynn, your twin ducted fan F-15 would really get a lot of attention these days. Would be great to see & hear it fly.
Also, is this photo of you from 1987 the same scratch built A-10 your flying now? That's some awesome dedication to an airplane.

Joey, I'm hoping we can start at 8 AM this year. Electric ducted fans have always been welcome. Sorry if you thought otherwise.
Lynn, that's amazing, nearly 30 years. Please bring them both.
