As you may know these two brothers fly version I Glassair tail draggers as the Hammer Brothers Racing Team. Bruce lives in Louisianna and Steve lives in Georgia. They are special. They fly to races, they camp, they put up their banner and they support each other the way brothers should. It is very inspiring to the distant observer like me who had a very special brother. A few months ago Steve was working on his property and fell out of a tree onto his concrete driveway. Many bones were broken literally from head to foot. It was a near death experience and the recovery period will be long. Last Month Bruce took Steve to Sun 'n' Fun and Steve told Bruce he really enjoyed it. Steve can't fly his own plan for a long time as PIC, maybe two years. Well, I received a letter from Bruce yesterday and he said Steve is looking for a "sit in PIC" for his very special plane in the 2008 AirVenture Cup Race. So the Hammer Brothers will be there. What a team, what brothers.
