Thorp Air Command - T18.net

John Kerr and RB are back at home base. John is still a little confused as to which control makes the plane go faster ? We flew up and back as a flight of 2 and loose cruise is now ops normal as John maintains at least a mile in trial. We'll work on that for the next road trip.

Dan and gloria (and the rest of the crew) did an outstanding job ! Best beef I've had in a long time and the beans were to kill for ! Cubes and Fraser are living proof ! Not quite sure how Hot Humid weather and a few cold beers can make everyone look younger ? I was sure Fraser had a younger Brother there, but is was just him after a few cold Coronas ! [:p]

Lee...I have about a dozen pics and I'll try and send a brief writeup ASAP.

Hi Dick, Rich is going to do a little writeup on the KVIS gathering, I just got some more photos today on a CD that I have to get to Rich Im sure it will be posted shortly.....Dan

I have/did do a writeup about the KVIS fly-in with pics from my Brownie Camera (yes I still have it along with the flash attachment). [:p] Dan also supplied some pics from the event (from a slightly newer camera) and I will forward them to Lee for the next Tiger Tales issue. [8D] Some photos have been edited for the PG-13 audience.

My apology for making such a short appearance at the KVIS gathering. It was good to see familiar faces and great looking planes. I flew full throttle back to KSCK, hangered the plane, changed clothes, and made it to the wedding right on time. If it hadn't been a relative's wedding, I would have preferred Gloria's lunch.
Tom Hunter, always good to see you, thanks for the comments on the plane. Rich, glad to see your beautiful new plane. Fraser, go for the red, or red and polished aluminum.
Thanks Dan for bringing it all together.

Hi Terry, it was a pleasure to have you at KVIS. It took some effort for you to fit it into your schedule, and Im sure glad you made that wedding. We have already started talking about next year as this event really turned out very well. We could have done without the humid weather, but the turnout was great never the less and everyone had a good time. Next year I believe Mexican food is on the Menu!! Blue skies........Dan

MEXICAN FOOD ! Move over Billy Ray ! [:p] I'll be there with zip lock bags for left overs ! Zans the humidity ! [;)] It did remind me of Philly in the good ole summer time ! [V]

RB

Terry: Your plane looked outstanding, especially the cowling and the "eyeball" inlets ! Very clean look.

RB

Hi Rich, we need to invade Cubes territory......and we need to make sure he will be there so he has to put up with us. I can probably round up a few more for the insodent.....Dan

No problem with that. Nothing a Navy pilot can't handle ! Being the cheeep (airline) guy he is he will probably take us to the old part of Vegas for $1.00 (uncooked) hot dogs and warm beer ! [:p] Just funnin with ya Cubes ! I'll fly your wing anytime ! [;)]

RB

We will have to put somthing together, I think Frase might even join in.........Paul Mcmichaels said somthing about coming this way in the near future, and that onery Ira and Mr Hunter will want a piece of it.........Dan

Whatever we do, wherever we do it, it has to involve Gloria's 5 Knot Frijoles - I really miss good mex food.

The 5 knot frijoles were built by none other than Missy Zermeeno, master Iras wife. Get prepared, between Missy Gloria & Mel you can best bet the menu for next year will be blazin......Blue skies Frase...Dan

Well you guys are welcome here anytime. Jes let me know so's I can be here.
I wanna say thanks to Danny and Ira for putting on such a great event. It was a gas. I wish I could have flown myself, but flying with Frase is always good for a laugh.
Thanks again
