Re: Precious Metals Current Situation...Hope They Make It

I am sure I speak for all who are watching this unfold when I say a great big "Thank You" for keeping all of us informed. I have done the all night thrashes and I know the last thing on anyone's mind is keeping the masses up to speed.

In a nutshell

You guys ROCK!!

Hey- I love AAFO.com, it was here I saw Thom's notice looking for people to come help at the end of last year. What was expected to be a few weeks at the time for me has turned into the only thing I've done this year! Thanks to everybody for all the support- and I hope to shake hands and say howdy to everybody I can at Reno.

Re: Precious Metals Current Situation...Hope They Make It

Brad is right...this week will remain forever etched in the minds of those involved, even us simple by-standers. Work your ass off now, fly it off over the next 10 days, and then tell the story for the rest of your life.

Not that I can think of a reason why you would need it, but if there is any assistance ATC can provide on the ferry, get a message to me. Tell me what you need and I will get it to guys on the other end of the string.

I will be one of the many lined up in the pits to share both my congratulations and my gratitude for what you have accomplished.

If we could bottle the passion and positive energy going on here...

If there's any help I can provide after next Thursday, I'm there! I'm sure there won't be a shortage of volunteers to help out at Stead after watching all of this unfold, but add me to the list Getting covered in PM bondo this spring was a highlight of my work/family trip to FL

I have seen a spy photo of the engine getting ready to go in.
I immediately went out and bought a new pair of sunglasses

Team is putting fluids in the aircraft right now to prep for ground runs. I am getting few details as I am having the travel day from hell trying to get to Reno.

That is fantastic news. Hopefully this goes smoothly as does the flight out. No more hang-ups, inconveniences, or bad luck in general.

LoveOldPlanes, I hope your travel day gets better or is done.
