Go to the pilots meeting - 7:30am and go up on the early shuttle, set up early and be ready. It gets good 10:00 - 12:00. I'll get there late in the day tomorrow and will look you up Terry or call me "Rich" on 149.500 after 3:00pm.

Rich

As part of Fly Week we arranged for 4 F-16s to do a fly-by 500ft over the LZ at 600mph and "waved wings" at us. Totally awesome. Orgasms everwhere. They went by so close and fast it was hard to get a good shot. Photo doesn't describe it.
