I recommend listening to Kenny Loggins while viewing these... I think there's more to come

Al, spoke to the Troy Built Model guys about the new boards for the retracts. I was trying to get the boards for you. They don't have them yet, but said they will in two weeks.

Well the dust has settled and Graeme and his pilot Ali Machinsky have won Top Gun. The T-33 static'd at 99.423 and then Ali took over with fligh scores in the ugh 97.5. When they finished and pictures were taken, we took the airplane over to Frank Tiano's and it was crated and shipped to England. Ali purchased the plane and it's on its way to Europe.

The whole experience was mind blowing and inspiring to say the least. Lots of stories to share with the guys when I get back...mike
