You're on Bob! I'll buy dinner Saturday night! LOL

Looking forward to seeing you.

Thanks!

added the video since the one person i thought would pick up on the picture didn't have time to waste on my feeble attempt to poke fun at Mr. Electric and the pesky toy electric airplanes.

At last year's Mississippi Afterburner, I wonder who the 2 guys in the back of the truck are? And what are they doing?

Hey Dave,
Let me know if there is anything I can do at this end.

My dad just shipped me a 65"x36"x18" 75lb crate with a Challenger 2 model in it using Greyhound.

Went from Springfield, MA to Dallas,TX

Cost $62 dollars with the military discount. They dropped it off at the Springfield station at 4pm on Wednesday, and it got here 5pm Friday.

Awesome.
