Awsome!
DR,
That's really great! While I've only been here a short time, I'm not new to aviation and remember Bax's articles well. I have to agree, you do represent him and the award well.
This could help you get that military back-seat ride you're looking for. After all, you're an "Award Winning Journalist" now!

congrats to Doug
Excellent! This site is a lifesaver to us first time builders. With or without the award, I want to shake your hand and buy you a brew of your choice. Hope to meet you at Kosh.

Good for you, Doug!
Congratulations, Doug.
Every month when I received my Flying magazine, I turned to Bax's BAX SEAT column and enjoyed them thoroughly. Now every morning the first thing I do when the PC comes up is to read your VAF site. So you are very deserving of the award. Must be something about you Texans.
Again...Congratulations!

Congrats, Doug.
Bax was a special writer and your receipt of this award is an honor. I was lucky enough to own his old Mooney for a couple of years. I hope your RV brings you as many adventures.

Dear Doug,
Bax is one of the icons who inspired me with his genuine zeal for flying. I have his book - inside it there's a little secret: a story I wrote to myself as a high school kid where Bax and I flew one afternoon in a Great Lakes. Its pretty special to me, even though it may sound funny to anybody else. He touched so many aviator's hearts.
Your selfless devotion to VAF and all of us here is well deserved, and like Bax, you're a real inspiration to everyone. God bless you!
Bill

Doug,
Like the others, I too read the BAX SEAT first. I also enjoyed the stories he had in the back of Car and Driver every month. When he stopped writing it was like when my father died, I couldn't talk to him any longer.
To be honored in his name is just outstanding, congratulations!

Thanks for the very kind words. I’m 100% certain the reason this site works is due to the caliber of folks who visit and contribute in the forums. I am just a copy and paste meat servo. On a coral scooter. With WiFi.
Copy & Paste Meat Servo. I like that….that’s my new title.
I have no other marketable skills, so my grand plan is to 'Keep on keepin’ on.' And if the Big Man Upstairs sees fit, I’ll do it (with gusto) for the next three decades or so. I do enjoy this hobby. And these folks.

Good for EAA
Congratulations, Doug. Very well deserved. I'll be one of your groupies in the audience when you receive it.
Hmm. If Paul doesn't get that shuttle down by then, I'll also be needing a date.....
