RE: Rant+ Bomber field
ya know...
mom always said there'd be one or two in a crowd.....
were else can you go and have 2,000-4,000 spectators and a bunch of little kids all white eyed and gitty watching you fly and asking you endless questions about your aircraft? not to mention 3hrs. of Live coverage on Fox News 2 mornings in a row....
so it was a little warm....ITS SEPTEMBER IN TEXAS!!!....i guess the concept of bringing a canopy or umbrella for shade is totally hard to grasp. there must have been at least 50 of them there.....Hell i'll let you borrow my two if needed...
i've been to this event the last 4yrs. in a row minimum...and i'll guarentee you i can count on one hand how many times i've seen bomber members flying during these three days....why you ask....good question...cause they are too busy taking out your trash, answering questions, working the front gate, parking cars, cooking burgers, serving soft-drinks, and working the flight line....this is undoubtably the finest event i've attended.
i'll bet you your $20.00 if you are really that disappointed with their event, they'd glady return you your money.....AND DON'T GO if this isn't your gig, that's why Baskin-Robbins has 31 flavors, but don't talk a bunch of trash about a fine group of men..JUST KEEP YOUR PIE-HOLE SHUT.....hundreds of pilots and thousands of spectators come every year and enjoy themselves....... ( everyone will think alot more of you that away)
i've personally taken Nick's truck to the local town to get 25-30 cases of soft drinks during the day to help out.....and i'm not a member. if you'd put in as much effort into helping someone there as you did in forthought of your post....you'd be alot happier and probably want to attend again.
these gentlemen are undoubtably the finest group i've had the privelage of sharing a softdrink and conversation with....and a cigar with Mr. Webber
i look forward to coming back again next time...and very much appreciate the effort and time spent to promote R/C flying and bomber field.
