I'll be across the runway, hating my life away inside a very miserable building watching you guys flying around. My mooney might be on the ramp though.

Par,

 

They're flyin' all weekend. If you get a free hour or two sneak over to the FBO and jump in an open seat. Pass on your info to Cowboy and he'll keep you in the loop.

 

Thanks for your service!
