<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I miss all the guys back in D6....but its great
to meet up with guys from all over the country. The California bunch was a
great influence on me, my family and my flying. The 4 months we spent there
will be a big chapter in my life and flying. The entire crowd embraced both
Jenny and myself and gave us the ultimate in help, support, and hospitality.
Thanks WHIP, Roy Speights, Jim Woodward, Jerry Budd, Tony, Greg and all the
other guys in D7 that made it such a great place to fly and hang out. I know
there are tons of guys in California I left out...but I thank you guys
too....Everybody opened their homes and their flying fields to us it was
great.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So far the Atlanta area has been the same
deal....lots of great guys and plenty of places to go fly....Now if it wasn't
so hot and humid I would be out even more. Jim Ivey, Bryan Kennedy, and Emory
Schroeter have all been super nice. I can't believe how many people want to go
flying and spent time practicing....I wish I had the time and energy to keep
up with many of them....After the Teams this past June my flying time dropped
like a lead balloon. I think that between the Teams in mid June till the NATS
in mid-July I had maybe 2-3 gallons of fuel....and since the NATS I think I
have done a total of about 10 flights of P-03 and a couple F-03.....and that
included the Tangerine with 6 rds of the Prelim pattern....I think Danny
Landis has almost flown my plane as much since the NATS as I
have.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>But September is bringing some more contests and
I think its about time to get out and enjoy the D3 scene a little.....Next
weekend has a couple different choices, Nashville or JAX....and then its
Huntsville, the D4 Champs, and the D3 champs then on to Burlington, NC for the
D2 Champs....looks like a good list of events....might even hit the Hot
Springs Arkansas contest....</FONT></DIV>
