Florida Jets after action report
We had a great time at Florida. Great job by Frank Tiano and his crew (particularly the flight line crew)
Jason Somes, Rob Janiger and myself traveled to Florida with JetCat USA GM Bob Wilcox to get our flights on, and hang out with customers and our buddies. Now with utmost respect I offer the following observations:
1.) People are getting good at flying. Not many crashes.
2.) Bryce's Lavi is very cool
3.) Several big F-18's out there now and they fly good
4.) BVM F-100s handle the wind like no plane I have seen
5.) Isobars are neat
6.) Facet is one of the coolest planes I have seen in awhile
7.) Chris Mounkley's(?) new onboard first extinguisher is cool
8.) P-160 + BVM F-4 = high velocity
9.) The big scratch built F-104 was the sleeper of the meet
10.) The P-70 is very cool
11.) Palm Coast Bloody Mary = Customer Satisfaction.
12.) BV is a pretty cool guy
13.) Shulman can still fly OK, but no improvement seen lately
14.) My cholesteral cannot be too bad as I got 3 flights in with no heart attacks
15.) Tam needs to get a better shipper or a better excuse
16.) With respect, fly Virgin Atlantic with confidence (Hi Nick and Mark)
17.) Francis better keep all 12 eyes on that daughter :-)
18.) Frank was cool to let Jason get his turbine heli flights on
19.) People need to remember to charge their ECU batteries if they plan to land with the turbine running :-)
20.) Wilcox has a lot of patience to put up with us.
21.) Horst has a weak bladder
