just returned from a great day of flying. the weatherman never gets it right around here. 100 plus temps, foooey, low 90's all day. he scared them all away. by noon everyone was leaving. 1 oclock and we had the runway to ourselves. took my "yeahbaby reaction" and wildcat out. even, as i said, gave a newbie this website. so can we or cant we reinstate curtiss. i know he plays the devils advocate from time to time, but it keeps you thinking and he truely has a passion for the hobby that cant be denied. after that kind of press in the ama rag, i just think a second chance is warranted. barry
