This will be the longest I have seen them travel ever
Glad they are going

There's a lot of, "We're going..." Talk around here. I might have to buy a C-172, cherokee six, cub, Warrior II or something to celebrate.

I'm cranky due to some "The Bills are going up." Talk, I guess I won't really know until it happens but tonight we were talking about going to the Okanogan to eat fresh peaches instead this year. I seem to have quit being a pilot again. :? I knew I should have waited to do my stupid Cat.3.

1C3 M4N, are you going this year?

Well the budget seems stable here, not quite to the point of going. It's a pretty long trip. They don't seem keen on me taking single fridays or mondays off at work.

Looks pretty certain I won't drop by to steal a beer from you fleet16b and chat with your terrific group in 2014. Have a great trip!

Hopefully one of the guys that like to go with their camera will make it down and post some pictures.

I was stoked to go this year, then life happened. I swear as soon as I'm through this thing I'm going every year.

How many in a row for you Fleet16b? I need to know if I have enough years left to top you.

    Saw fleet16b online, raced back here.

    ~twiddles thumbs~
    Work was ok, we had pizza.


    This is pretty neat, they got everyone to chip in and build their Zenith for free over the week.
