Thanks Grizzly.  I appreciate that.  The problem seems to be that work, the boys and of course meinen wifen have demands on 36 hours of the measely 24 they allot me each day ;)  I hope all is well in your neck of the wood and that you're having a good summer!

 MZ!  Good to see you too oh master of evil deeds :)    (is he staring at me? I swear he's staring _right_ at me. Immel!!.....)

 Hey Apache! When I log on I'll look for you. Everytime I think of "flyinh" the Yak I wonder how well ytou;ve gotten in it ;) But when I get on I'll attempt to fly on the same side as I've got more rust than the USS Maine and I'm dreading the spanking I'm going to get.  Didn't you used to live in Beantown? How's the change to the South treating you?

 Swager! It's really good to see you.  Not getting mushy on you or anything (and I don;t drink Bud Lite) but I have to admit you're one of the folks who's a pleasure to fly with or against.  AH is a better place with you here and I'm glad to see your post.  Same for Drano (my fondest scenario moment ever was winging with him!),  Mr Dowding and Mr Horn too.  And I'll be polite to my old buddy ArloG and include him in that also.  By gones-be-gones and all .. (holds out hand with gag buzzer hidden in palm...) ;)

 Flos! Congrats on your promotion to the head office!! I couldn't think of any one with a better head on her shoulders and temperament for the job. I hope it just doesn't burn you out. BTW, are you still a "thimbologist"? :)  I think I owe you one.  Are you going to the 2003 Con?

Thanks All!

Thanks, Westy.... well, we only do this job for a year and then pass it on to somebody else, so I doubt it will burn me out.... I've done nearly half my term now anyway and managed to survive (with some great support!) so far.  :)

Yes I still collect thimbles as one of my hobbies - and yes I am going to the Con - are you?! Heck, I hope so, I would love to meet you!  :D

Really good to hear from you again, Westy. Glad you're still among us, even if you aren't flying at the moment.

When you do get time to fly again, your shiny La-5fn will be waiting. :)

Westy!  Good to see you and hear finally things looking up.
Families take huge amounts of attention..........and there's understanding on all our parts about that.  Just most of us have asked where you've been.....and hoped things were well.

Hope to see ya up soon!

Yeah they were the days! We had some great runs. I'm sure I still have the films on the old machine.

Great hearing from you and glad to hear you're making out a little better. Hope to see ya up again sometime. You prolly wouldn't recognize me tho. I've all but dropped my 109--at least in the MA. In the name of becoming a better wingie I've become a pony dweeb lately.;)

A PONY dweeb?  ....  ;)

Hajo!  Good to "see" you buddy."  And thank you!  It's good to see you're still "flying" too.


Popeye :)  Very nice to hear from you.  How are the MOL guys doing? I just checked the roster and there seems to be a lot of low air times. Most of the guys waiting for AH-II or ... ?

Not quite dead yet Westy :p

We're just an old old squad.  And like Dinosaurs we just slowly fade away ;)  I still read the boards, and I've taken up 3D modeling as a hobby (been doing Vietnam era jets) , but I rarely rarely fly.  Gonna be at the CON tho.  Glad to hear that things are going better for you. :)

Westy, nah, I ain't from bean town. Stringer and his band of scribes of ill repute won't let me north of the Mason Dixon, lol. Beside, they talk funny in Bawwwwstan.

Maybe you, Stringer and I should go Yakn' one night. If I can keep cherry pickin' Stringer from stealin' my kills, I might get 1 or 2.

OOps! Sorry Apache ;)  It was Cobra I was thinking of. For some reason I always correlated your handle and Cobra's with the name of the attack helicopters (don't ask, I don't know why...). Glad to see you're both still online here.  :)   I swear I'll get my hotas put back togther over the next few days (wife and kids are visiting mom-in-law for a week to boot starting this weekend!)

 Vermillion!  Saw some of your posts you-know-where. If I had time I'ld love help but there's not much of a chance of that any time soon. But if they ever come out with a Vietnam era sim my personal fave would be the A4 "Scooter'. However given their enourmous delays with current projects and according to http://www.deathclock.com  I'll be kicking the bucket in November of 2011 I'm not too optimistic ;)  

 Flos, unable to make Con - unless Jordi take me up on my offer ;)  But I figured I could cheap out on shipping charges by sending a small gift  to you there.

Hey Westy, which do you prefer? The C model or the F model? If I get time this evening, I'll post you a present ;)
