But, as mentioned, you are invited to fly all week long beginning the 6th of February..........we're really pleased to note that our sponsor list is growing and, despite the economic conditions they are providing some really great merchandise for the pilot drawing. I'll post a list of sponsorship in the next week or so.

Dave, I like the way you think! My wife has developed an allergic reaction to RC airplanes, so perhaps I can fly her out for a weekend in Arizona AFTER DJS!

Nice going Chris. We can hardly wait. Only other thing is to have the PA set up so it is not loud in the pits and directed more to the stands. Dan

My wife just reminded me that we have a cruise on Feburary 11th for 8 days. We booked months ago, and had no idea when Desert Storm would be. A real bummer, but need to remain married (LOL)!!!!!!!!!! Sure hate to miss this one!

Well since I missed Arizona Jets this year, I'm going to Jet Desert Storm. Hopefully I can get a new or used turbine by then, otherwise I'll be flying EDF.

RE: Desert Jet Storm has listened
Chris, one last item please. It seemed that the Pit Lightning was controlled by Darryl Cady, therefor shut off when he went to dinner or whenever he felt the need to shut the lights off :-(
This has been a problem for about 3 years now. A very simple solution would be the addition of a timed switch outside the shed powering those lights. Something like a simple bathroom fan timer with
an hour max setting, etc. What do you think?

RE: Desert Jet Storm has listened
Chris, here's another suggestion and an easy one. I actually got the idea from Chad and Sin City Jets this year. If you have any giveaways/prizes for the pilots, it's a neat idea. Pilots get one raffle ticket after each flight. The more you fly, the more tickets you get in the hat for the pilot drawings. NO HANGAR QUEENS!!!! Of course, this almost guarantees Larry Laughlin will go home with something as much as that dude flys. Perhaps we should exclude him?
