That's what I'm talking about. any other
memories out there. Mark did comment to me something like "damn, I
guess it's gone full circle. I was one of the kids back then,
now I'm an old fart" Of course I reassured him that it was
ok, since there are going to be a lot of old farts out there
;-) BTW, does 42 count as old? I am sure I could be
considered by some to be a fart :-)
Mike (woooops) Smith, excuse me!

Also developer of the 'kiss and click' spot landing. Back some 35 or so
years ago when he was flying the Windfree in SoCal he worked out a way
to get time and spots at landing. Grease that little beauty in a foot or
so off the deck and at the exact time, kiss the nose off the grass (or
dirt, or whatever), then bounce it back into the air and fly it into a
perfect spot without having to worry about the time. No skids, skegs or
anything. Just amazing coordination, timing and skill. First time I saw
that maneuver I recall a bunch of guys all gaping and muttering 'did you
see that.......???'.
Awesome list for Masters. Hope you guys have a great time.
