I am jealous. Make sure you document all the crashes as I am sure their will be many (seeing as it is a "scale" event)

Enjoy! While the movie has nothing to do with the event, it does give me an excuse to post my favorite quote...

Son, your ego is writing checks your body can't cash. You've been busted, you've lost your qualifications as section leader three times, put in hack twice by me, with a history of high speed passes over five air control towers - and one admiral's daughter!

Ahhhh! Go ahead and buy it Whitey. I'll donate $20.00 if you do. What are friends for. It's only money. By the way Twinkie said he'll donate the other $9,980. ;D ;D

Here is the first of I'm sure many photos whitey will make us jealous with. This BAE Hawk is owned by Blair who is staying with Mike and Graeme... Apparently it flies like a dream :)
