I've been thinking
what can be said about the 2006 Nats. To sum it up "A Very Well Done".
The operation went
extremely smooth and was well organized. A huge Thank You to all of the
volunteers from the "turn around trolls" to the flight line, the tent and I
can't forget the vendors too. How many of us needed that last minute part or
glue? Thanks Johnny for the ballast and Mike for the wing
bolts.
Even after a long
hot week everyone had plenty of smiles. I suspect they may have grown that way.
;-)
Thanks too for the help and encouragement of the Michigan crew. Without
help and advice from all the WMSS guys, I would not have lasted a minute. And
Troy, we still consider you a Michigan man.
To new friends like
Barry Anderson, Tom Scully and Peter Goldsmith, I hope to see you next year, if
not sooner.
I have to say for me
RES was the best, I suppose, because I too, had one of my best flying days yet.
I managed a 5 out of 5 1000+ rounds, WOW what a day. Thanks Marc for selling me
your AVA last year.
Most of all to my
wife Jean. All the time while I was flying, she whispered sweet encouragements
in my ear, dragged me to the landing area and kept me apprised of possible
lift.
What
fun!
