Hiya fellas
Just wanted to share what a amazing night I had last night, yesterday I flew
from Smoketown down to Atlanta it was a good flight just ran into some crud
around DC but other than that it was a good trip. I flew into KFFC and visited
with the Falcon RV Group a great group of guys! Then I flew up to KPDK and got
ready for the main event I got the incredible honor of meeting the man I think
of as my personal hero....I surprised Bob "Punchy" Powell at a dinner at the
57th FG restaurant and got to show him my 8 painted in his honor. It was really
something at the table at sat at there was Punchy ( a WWII P-51 ace) a SR-71
pilot ,a F/A-18 pilot who flew in the second Gulf war a ret AF General and a
Marine Harrier pilot and my new Friend Bill who flew helicopters and A-10s
needless to say I spent the whole night with my jaw on the floor listening to
their stories. I don't say this lightly it was one of the greatest experiences
of my life!!!!
Anyway I have some really neat pics that when I get home I will post
All the Best guys!
