Default Today was the Day

My JetMach finally saw the air today. Beautiful weather with just a light breeze - a perfect day. I got a couple of flights in, I couldn't help but laugh a little during the first as she went by. I had waited a long time to get to this point so to hear the turbine and smell the kero in the air was quite the rush. Looking forward to Sunday to do it all again. Thanks to my buddies from the club Jim, Erik, Kevin and Lee that helped me along the way. Thanks also to LimeyBob and Shok, couldn't be happier with the jet. Turbine pilot - like the sound of that.

Hey Dan,

You did a great job today! Ain't it a rush? Welcome to the Dark Side!

BTW, great job with the paint on my Reaction! It is so shiney that I can comb my hair on it. And I do believe that it's faster now!

Congrats again,
Jim

Uncle Joe,

Yup, it was at Farview. The runway was rolled last week and now it's like a billiard table!

Thanks again Jim, see you on Sunday. It's nice to come home with a half empty jug of kero than to lug that full thing back and forth.
