Default Dan, calling Dan...

Has anyone heard from Dan?

I just checked and can't find a post from him since before the fires.

Sure hope all is ok with him and his wife!

I just flew a formation practice with Dan 'Sharpie' Checkoway and others last Sunday so I'm guessing he's just been busy with his day job and also being an FFI Check Pilot, EAA Technical Counselor/Flight Advisor/Workshop Instructor and writer for Kitplanes magazine. Rosie

I'm here, thanks. I'm "shedding load" lately and not monitoring the forums. If I'm gonna retire young I need to focus on other things!



You guys know where I'm at if you want to get in touch with me...keep on keepin' on...

Default missing

Whow I don't think my wife would miss me for days. At this point she would look in my paint booth.

Yeah, but wives think "half the money and twice the man."

Time to build another one,

Dan is probably in the garage banging rivets on the -8. Before we know it he will be flying that and donating the -7 to the EAA to put in the museum at OSH.

Flew formation with Dan on Sunday. I bet he is getting like me and not able to keep up with all the posts and have a life outside of the forum. It is impossible to read everything and reply to all posts that you may have something to add. I have to pick the ones to reply to and not comment on everything.
