You're not sick, just feeling mildly ill. biggrin

You've got a ways to go for "sickness" to set in, but don't worry, we're all rooting for you and hope it sets in soon. *huge grin*

Looking good so far, Ghost! But I'm right there with Gene, hopefully the infection will fully catch and you'll end up spending countless hours in your garage like the rest of us!

Actually, i think it's more like we had the sickness. Now we're hooked on the drugs prescribed to us. No rehab, just refly!
Oh, and don't feel bad to up the dose a bit once and a while. You'll feel better for it. wink

Nice medicin you've got there Ghost! thumbsup

Man, if I had room for an Obutto, I'd get one in a heartbeat. That looks like a really nice setup.

That was Novembers PoF event. biggrin
Their A6M5 Zero was the featured plane for December. I am hoping they post 2012's schedule of events soon.

I know it's a bit quick but either of you up for Saturdays flying History event at Planes of Fame. This month they are going to fly their P-26 peashooter. I've been wanting to see it fly for 3 or more years so this weekend will be a treat for me.

Sorry to hear you guys can't make it.
February 4th the featured plane is the Fw-190 so that might be worth a vist and it gives you a whole month to think about it. smile

Quote:
WWII German Fighters

WHAT: Open to the public, we present a discussion panel of aviation historians and veterans followed by a question & answer period and flight demonstration, featuring the Focke-Wulf 190. The topic this day is "WWII German Fighters". At 12:00 noon, the Membership Sponsored raffle flight will be in the Boeing PT-17 Stearman.

The February PoF event just got a little bit better. There are going to be two guest speakers this Saturday.

Quote:
WHO: Harald Bauer, a former Heinkel He 162 pilot, will be presenting along with Jorg Czypionka, a former Messerschmitt Me 262 pilot. Kevin Thompson will be the POF Moderator accompanied by Dirk Stewart providing the AV services.

Either of you think you might be able to make it to this one?
