Hello Art!
Congratulations buddy! That is awesome news! I'm so glad to hear it. What a relief huh?! Enjoy. Maybe I could come up and visit with you and see your pride and joy. I'm not very far now, just south of Atlanta near Peachtree City. Take care my friend! Again that is great news!

Jerry

Art,

That is great news, congrats!

When do we get to see this bird? AVL isn't that from the rest of us in and around CLT.

BTW, are you on the SERV list? There are a LOT of RV's in the area.

Default Great..

......to have the tower guys participate.....great idea.

If you'll stay in the air, you'll be in Phase 2 by the time we have our Spring fish-fry-fly-in. You're less than an hour away by RV. (2J3).

Congrats,
