I will look you up if the inlaws don't have big plans, my Brother-in-law is a Manager of the mechanics at AA, we'll probably be in town checking out his operation, good time to swing by and hook up with you if we can make it happen.

If you get time, we'll call together the KC AH players and do a BBQ lunch. We're about due for one anyway.

This a working trip or play?

I'm sure G-Man would enjoy the hangar!

Toad,
I have to leave to go to Brussels for business on that day.

I live in OP about 5-10 minutes away.

Soooo, let me know when you are around there and I'll drop on by.

But I can't make the open house on Saturday :(

Going to try and be there, looking good for right now.

Rip – Just sent you an e-mail.  If you’re going to be around, you know you have two squadies in the area.  I could even be tempted to buy a beer or two ;).

Have any idea what’s going to happen?

Rip said he’d only be in KC next Monday through Wednesday.  I’m expecting to hear from him sometime Friday.  Just curious if anyone knows anything else.

Be There!

See the Famous Aviator, Toad, doing continual flips and rolls right over a hot BBQ grill! See the burgers do continous loops that would make a Niki blush with shame! See "manual trimming" of hot dogs so they fit into the buns! See perfect "energy management" as Toad sits by the grill in a comfortable lawn chair drinking beer with one hand and flipping burgers with the other!
See a perfectly restored 26 year old Fiesta gas grill doing what it does best!

You don't want to miss this one!

June 1 & 2.. check out the link in the first post.
