Hey Nick, glad to hear you got to fly the real thing.Sure sounds like an adventure of a lifetime to me. I was going to ask you where you fly rc in or around Eufaula? I have an uncle that lives there (on Sanford Street or Sanford Ave-cant remember which) as well as my grandmother who is at a retirement home there.
I plan to come back thru there and visit them on my way back to B'ham from Perry Ga this weekend.
His name is Bob McGowan.
Now if only I could get my wife to get me a "real airplane ride" for my b'day!

Later!! John
