Nathan,

Very good to see you and the gang from Georgia. As well very nice to see your surprise, a industrial version of a margarita machine! It doubled as a lemonade maker during the day!

One of the best fly-in's that I have been to in years!

Gentlemen and Ladies(Mark's Mom, Wives, Etc.), I had the most fun I have had in a while. Long while. It was great to get names and faces linked up. I won't try to name names as my memory ain't real good. I enjoyed EVERYONE. Reminded me of summer camp or a school trip. To the Entire Board, A big Thank You for all the Blood, Sweat, and Tears. It is Appreciated. The Georgia Boys will be back. To Keith and Aeronca Employees, I had never been in the new plant and it was Great. Thank everyone who helped for me. Lunch was Excellent. I cannot put into words how I feel about all you folks. Even Tater.....I now know which ones to keep an eye on....David J., Tired in Georgia!

Mike,

Early June 2010. Its held every two years so makes it well worth making it. To tell the truth its a lot of work and we need the summer inbetween to rest up!

Hope to see you there. This year was excellent and had we not had some difficult weather on Friday would have had more airplanes that we have had in years. As it was there was still around 100 there and lots more people drove in. Well worth attending, even if for Nathan's margaritas!

A couple of years ago at Oshkosh, every evening, I kept hearing a "chainsaw" running. I kept thinking who the hell would bring a chainsaw to Oshkosh. Then one night, we went to one of the many parties around the camping area. This guy from West Virginia walked up with this blender on a pod and asked if anyone wanted a daiquiri. He gave it yank on the cord and I knew right a way I had found the owner of the chainsaw. Damn good daiquiris.

For transporting that thing, mount it disguised as a wind generator with one of those folding props that motorgliders use and you'll have some auxilary take off power for those really short fields!

Will see what we can do and cannot wait.

Please tell me that it does not turn "backwards" ????
