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.

Congratulations.
The great success of this forum is not just luck - it is skill on your part.
Rather than a paste andcopy meat servo,
the reason this forum succeeds is the standards
you quietly but determindly insist on - stay on topic
- be polite
- any critisism must be constructive

Default Ode to a Meat Servo

That's mighty fine company you are in, Doug. Gordon Baxter and you share the love of people who love aviation. Your self deprecation is misplaced. Reminds me of some prose I learned in grade school.

He is a poet
and doesn't know it
but his feet show it.
They're long fellows.

Thank you, Thank you very much.

Congrats Doug! Bax was a favorite author of mine for as many years as he wrote. Your efforts with VAF absolutely reflect a love of aviation that Gordon Baxter would applaud. Way to go!

Congradulations Doug. Love the site, this is well deserved award.

I'll be hontest, haven't read Flying magazine or much by Gordon Baxter--so I just subscribed to Flying.

Default Congrats Doug!

Good on ya'!

I'll join the chorus of kudos and agree that it's a well-deserved honor.

I usually read Bax first in most Flying issues. He was an aviation romantic with a down-home way of connecting with his readers and used his folksy charm to spin "you-are-there" visual images.

Quite an honor!
