Hi Roger,

With all the talk of a little event in Dayton, I can hardly look down the road far enough to think about Rt 66.

I will be there! either Wednesday night or Thursday morning.

I will see you at the Jet World Masters on Tuesday July 26th.

Thanks,

John

Hi Roger, long time no see. I was just talking about you the other day to a friend who's plane I was doing some painting on. Since Litchfield is our old meeting point, and close to home, I think we'll take a ride up and do some spectating. It would be good to see you again and see what you are flying now days.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt">Oh yea John I know what you mean but being a R66 pilot versus a JWM Judge as well asstaff responsibilities just might be a slightly more, what should Isay?

Oh yea Andy, you got so many JWM responsibilities that we both may never recover but you and your family seems to thrive on being a major part of the action!

Lewis the Jets Over Kentuckycreatorof the largest/biggest/enormous event in the world will also get a break at R66 along with Dorothy that also needs some TLC.

I am off to the JWM in the Friday AM so will definitely look forward to someHAWG time at R66.....

Later, Roger</span></p>

Jim Allen Our Co CD will bring the Cornholing Game
Andy, Johnnie&amp;Jacy Andrews will be discussing JWM planes of choice for Switzerland
Mark Basel will be absent due to apersonal obligation.
Goose will be there also discussing his/our JWM future as well as having his KC dialed in for all challengers
Paul Blanchard &amp; Patty along with Jim McEwen from Phoenixalso to further his JWM ambitions
Lance Campbell &amp; with the Black Bird also deliberating a JWM plane of choice
Ron Colbert with his KC hanging out with brethern from the JWM
Dennis Calvin will be there doinga Swap Shop maybe?
Steve Collins will probably fly more sorties with his Boomer than any other pilot
Jerry Crow will without a doubt get the Turbine Waiver behind him as he has already pre-registered!

More later as I gotta get some sleep...still decompressing from the JWM</span>

Hey Roger,

I miss you guys already. Really looking forward to my first R66 Jets and seeing the JWM crew again. I'll bring the "snow cone" machine. If only I could figure out how to fit the Mirage F-1 in the overhead compartment.

A big thanks to Paul and Patty; they go to the front of the marg line!

Regards,

Jim

Rumors have it there will still be some Kero left at the gas station from Super Illiini Jets and DOGS so the boy says we are going!

So Rog, put me and my son down for a spot in the start up area. I will of course be filling the jet up, the boy will be having all the fun.

3 back to back weekend are going to kill me, but what the hell, lets do it!!!!

See all of you there. Crap I am going to need a vacation after this weekend.

Yep will be there.. However, the KC broke a boom at the JWM, so I guess I will have to get the sister KC dialed in at Dogs.. What we saw fall off the plane was the carbon strip.. That Wren was cookin!! I guess I found the breaking point.. BV is already workin on some new booms. However the Wren 120 ultra Flash was unleashed last weekend.. look out bandit boys, its fast!!

Hey Goose, thanks man. I'll bring some tastey treats for Viper!!!

Patty, I'm doing the routine maintenance checks on the "snow cone" machine so it will be all certified and ready to go. Who's bringing the pool? Tell Paul to forget all about the F-16 until that F-20 is ready to go. I gotta see it fly!!!!

Roger, so are we all gonna have a mini-JWM planning meeting? Sounds like we'll have a quorum. :-)

Sorry John, I made a mistake, it's the F-20 that Paul has been working on.
