RE: Great Planes Illusion Q's
Not really!
However these names do: The Good brothers, Maynard Hill, John Worth, Howard Bonner, Bob Dunham, Ed Kazmirzski, Cliff Weirick, Doug Spreng, Jimmy Greer, Phil Kraft, Steve Helms, Jim Kimbro, Marty Barry, Don Lutz, Chuck Hayes, Ed Izzo, Sal Battaglia, Jim Fosgate, Norm Page, Jim Whitley, Doc Brooke, Don Brown, Dave Brown, Mark Radcliff, Miles Reed, Art Schroeder, Don Lowe, Ron Chidgey, Tony Bonetti, Hanno Prettner, Wolfgang Matt, Bob Reuther, oh yeah that kid of 15 Rhett Miller and his father ----the list goes on ----my memory (at the moment) does not.
I was fortunate enough to meet, talk with or fly with each of these individuals----there wasn't a foul ball in the bunch!
What does it mean----NOTHING---- other than I feel I was privileged to have had the experience and their input------well, it DOES mean that I'm older than h***, but still flying.
For how long---you'll have to check with me each morning.
Of this group I see only Miles Reed and we still fly together several times each summer----then we "bench fly" through the winter. I needle him 'cause he is even older than I.
