A big thank you to everyone who helped organize & run the event, as well as to the sponsors who donated some incredible stuff this year.

Kenny - if you still have any T-shirts left that need to be disposed of, let us know - I'll happily buy a few more.

This one was fun as usual, it ran smooooth - very nice, and the BARKS club guys get a big thank you for all the support work! I'd say this year the turnout for spectators was pretty large compared to years past. I spoke to a few folks and they were really getting a kick out of it, I think a few future jet pilots were molded at CA Jets 08. I'd love to see the dates for CA Jets 09 firmed up sooner than later, I almost didn't get to come this year due to schedule conflicts. Really well done guys, thank you!

I totaly agree. The poor guy keeps bringing out a plane, but never gets to fly it coz we're always bending his ear or asking his advice, or asking him if he can glue together the turbine parts that just got spread around a 500 ft debris trail

Thanks Bob, for always being such a gentleman about us harassing you.

Here's some of the very few shots I got this weekend. The maiden on my new F-15 went nicely and I got a good 10-12 flights on her. All in all a great weekend at the Willow. Thanks to Kenny, Dave and all the volunteers that put the rally together!!
