<DIV>Yes, I'm here. What Dean referred to here was my infamous crash at the
Nats. This was back in the days when some radios were having 3rd order IM
problems. I was on the center line of three lines along the same runway. I
was flying a JR Century 7 on channel 40. We started the day's flying with
the guy two ahead of me crashing on channel 40. The next guy went up, also
on channel 40, and he crashed too. I went up and the radio failed to respond
as my airplane was vertical in a reverse Cuban 8 as I was setting up to
enter the pattern. It went in absolutely vertical directly in front of the
flightline to my left. I handed the pin to the guy behind me and said,
"Let's see what kind of ba!!s you have". He wisely refused to fly. When I
got to the other flightline to retrieve the wreckage, Dave Brown said to me,
"Your engine never sounded better!" I guess Dean was there too. </DIV><BR>
