BLUE ANGEL PILOT,

CONGRATULATIONS on your first plane, I was in my late 30s or my early 40s when I bought my first one and it was a "great day" even at my age GOOD LUCK with your new endeavor i BELIEVE YOU'LL ENJOY IT, there is nothing like that first successful landing, (well almost anyways)

ART,

NO THANKS necessary my friend, even though you were in country two years before I was I flew coverage for THE GREEN BERETS and the NAVY SEALS, I even remember EXTRACTING a few of you "SNIPER TYPES".
When you talk about playing in the "DIRT" you guys took it serious! Even though I was on the delivery end of a reworked M-60 in a SCOUT SHIP (LOACH) I got to go home to a hot meal and warm bed ? every night, no humpin the boonies for these short ugly legs.hehehe WELCOME HOME MY FRIEND!!!

RC_sport,

I had two girls, now there ain't nothing wrong with having girls, and One of em (THIS BOYS MOM) even rode dirt bikes with me, But there's nothing like a boy!! And it took my DAUGHTER to bring one to me. He's my best friend and the best "FLYING BUDDY" in the world. Though he may not always agree!! I'm kinda tough on him.. But I like his "FINGERS" right where they are.. and I'd much rather have FUTABA (oh,oh I started it now) on his cap than "COLORS" on his back.
