At 9:40pm on Tuesday night The US F3B Team saddles up into one of them big ass jets (Kindly provided by Lufthansa) and heads off to the heart of the Dark Continent via the German Empire. 22 hours of nonstop fun and games with blond Nordic flight attendants... oh yea... As for myself I just plan to claim about $5000.oo dollars worth of seats and sleep. Gordon will work his way up to first class, so that he can polish his leading edges with 4000 grit to a finish that will blind the competition. There is simply not enough room in coach. We all know what Daryl will be up to. Steve will be pumped up on coffee and Scott (his brother) will be wishing he could just go to sleep. Joe likes to read a new sci-fi, helps him come up new and bizarre aircraft designs. Dwaine will be pacing the asles...wishing he could have a smoke. But in truth... we all will be suffering jet lag. Ten hours of time difference will slowly take its toll. Cept for Daryl and we all know what he will be up to. Wanna guess how much stuff we have to take? 4- winches, turn arounds, stakes 110 -rolls of winch line 5- large model boxes (they look like Stinger Missile Boxes)(South Africa Customs guys will have a field day with these things) 3- 220 volt battery chargers Tripods 8- bags of clothing 1- box of Tee shirts Stack all this stuff up and it will not fit into a mini van...takes two. Takes 30 minutes just to unload all that stuff. The team is ready for war. We will kill, kill, kill! Will a Mr. Scott Condon please report to the nearest white courtesy phone... Mr. Condon to the white courtesy phone...your parties luggage is in Aruba.... RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News. Send "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
