The plan was for me to head out after returning from Toledo show today (red-eye into LAX) but unfortunately after eating some sea food two days ago, it did not jive with my system. I could not make it to Toledo show today either because I could not keep anything in my stomach since the past day and half. I’m completely dehydrated and my doc advised some bed rest.

Wish you guys happy landings and hope to see great pics here.

Best Regards

Ben

What an incredible event! Big thanks to Kenny, Dave, Jill, Doug, Paul, Kenny and the rest of the crew. They put in a ton of work and it paid off with a smoothly run event!

Can't wait to see more pics and relive all the stories.

great shots, had a blast all week and will be back next year for sure. just got back, 7 1/2 hour drive but worth every minute.

Hey Billy do u suppose we could Commission your hawg jockey to go on tour with all the hawg owners ?
Maybe we could take turns being the tour guide ! Roger

RE: CALIFORNIA JETS 2008... Official event coverage thread...
 

Oh man!!!! those photos came out great. I got a BIG eye roll from the wife when she saw the hog pics.

What an incredible weekend. You could not have had better weather. Perfect for flying and adding a little color to the chrome dome. Dave and Kenny really handled the event well.

Man what a sight it was to watch Darcy do those slow rolls down the length of the runway. That boy sure can fly!

I miss you guys already. We'll have to get a willow trip planned in the weeks to come for sure.

Keep the photos coming.

Billy
