I had a great time, Mike! It's a very nice site, easy access to the Interstate, nice central location. And the folks selling the food had the best tasting bar-be-que I've had in a long, long time. Thanks to Allen Brickhaus and all the staff who made it happen.

Rollin,

Wow! 457! See, even USA Rocket Engineers can learn to fly
Stunt pretty well! Keep up the good work! Before you know
it everyone will be clamoring for you to fly in Advanced....

hey one and all

HOW DID YOU LET THAT UGLY UGLY UGLY (!!!!!) DRAGON WIN OTS, LET ALONE WIN BEST APEARANCE?! ITS THINKS LIKE THIS THAT KEEPS THE OLD MAN FROM BUILDING!! SOMEONE NEEDS TO ACIDENTLY TRIP AND FALL ON THAT THING! His Shark 45, dispite its age, flies very well so well let him slide on that one. But come one people!!! there more wood showing on that Dragon then there is paint. HEY DAD, AT LEAST FIX IT UP A BIT!! (and dad, i mean that with the upmost love and admiration)
