After reading that Doug is going to post updates on Christmas Eve just so that we will have something to read on Christmas, I realized how dedicated our friend really is. We don't say it enough. Thank you Doug for enriching our lives. During this wonderful holiday season, we must cherish those who bring love into our lives. Your labor of love has made a big family of us all. Your enthusiasm is infectious. Your dedication is awesome. Your skill and creativity are truly inspiring. I have yet to meet you in person, but you can rest assured that I will track you down at OSH (or Lakeland, if you make it) and shake your hand. Until then, Merry Christmas friend. We all deeply appreciate you and the net.

Ditto.....

Exactly what Steve said, Doug! I know continual updates on a website are time consuming and a helluva lot of work. Thanks for creating another "addiction" which I visit many times per day/week.

Wow!

Thanks very much for the kind words. It's certainly my pleasure (and honor) to have so many people to call friend.

Jay Pratt says, "I got more out of aviation than aviation got out of me." I think that applies to me too!

Wishing everyone a happy and safe holiday season!

Doug,

I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas and New Year.

Merry Christmas

It's the most-fun job I think I'll ever have and I'm happy to do it for the next 30 years or so! I'll be sure to send the URL to this thread to the yoga instructor (Susie).

Happy Holidays!

And the same to you.

This is indeed an informed, civilized conduit of information on what we do.

May the Spirit of the Season bring peace, fulfilled hope, and safe flight to all here. We are one in an otherwise disconnected and confusing world. Long live Aviators!
