Postby terryJm » Wed Dec 21, 2011 12:53 pm

Thanks Bob, for being there for us; You contributions were greatly appreciated. The raffle attracted several questions regarding our assn.and both copies of the magazin have been borrowed. You could post those pictures on this topic if you want. Also the pictures of your flight, and the 'Mutant Ninja Scooter Tow' could go some place, if you get the chance. Your new ideas are what we need the most, ' rateing cards', cart resourses, etc. I'm hopefull about joining you at Torry some day soon, later, Terry

Hey, that's right. Bob and Kenny B. were here for our first meeting after establishing our chapter, last year, and for the 1st
anniversary this year.

It's an honor having such a hight profile member in SWTHG.

We enjoy his visits. And Bob got to fly here this trip, even if it was only on the bunny hill. :thumbup:

Great photos, Bob, and you looked good with your landing gear down, I know You object; however, wheels make for a good example for students. I never fly without them! I wish the scooter tow photo could have shown the line spooled on the wheel, and our custom tank installed, with us running it. Thanks, We may receive constructive criticism, to our advantage! Later, tjm

As for wheels, I think they add a good measure of safety, but I didn't have any with me for those flights.
