What surprises me is that the Rocket Racing League is so desperate to
give him credibility, they have gone as far as to indicate in his bio
that he tested something like 1100 aircraft since the age of thirteen
and gave evaluations on them. I questioned who cares what a thirteen
year old's evaluation of an aircraft is three years before it's legal
for him to have a license?

Now, Jim's bio is removed from the Rocket Racing League site, as I
believe soon, so will Jimbo the Rocket Clown be removed.

If these people are looking for credibility, they won't gain it by
having the likes of Jim Campbell with them, and for that matter, Mike
Houghton of the Reno Air Racing Association. He has all but killed the
races, which he publicly stated last year will be around for eight more
years, though estimates are less than five. Houghton and his crew sold
the land to the Airport Authority of Washoe County, and the latter
wants to build an industrial warehousing and manufacturing site on the
racecourse lands. Houghton was a member of the AAWC at the time, so it
equates to land fraud and local FAA bimbos are acting as consultants on
the deal.

In the meantime, RARA and RRL have announced they'll be holding RRL
events at Stead, and Jimbo ~ according to Jimbo ~ is also going to be
flying in the Sport Class beyond the RRL.

Has anybody checked this guy's Flight Physical as of late? Has anyone
checked his Pilot's license? In fact, has anyone checked Jimbo's meds?
Or Jimbo for a relapse?

Truth be told, Jimbo never got well and he's still out there playing
Captain Zoom. Hopefully, the next time he catches something in his
teeth, it will still be an ultra-light and not the leading edge slats
on a Boeing 747, ala PSA in San Diego...

Forget Captain Zoom...Jimbo the Rocket Clown is Captain "Doom" for
sure...only a matter of time, since the FAA continues to sit with its
thumb up one of its A's and allows this clown access to aircraft and
airfields.

And he still waltzes around playing journalist and acting God in real
Aviators' lives, though he has no Journalistic ethics. He won't pursue
stories critical of his "friends" and he'll stab others in the back if
it's to his greedy benefit, including individuals with good cases and
Journalists seeking his help to help others.

Sun N' Fun is correct in banning him from all grounds. He's a
nuissance lawsuit just waiting to happen, and the best way to avoid
that lawsuit is to not let him in. He's a clear danger to himself and
others, including Law Enforcement, Sun N' Fun Staff, Pilots, Vendors,
Press, and the Public. This is NOT the type of individual you want to
allow anywhere near your aircraft.

My two cents...
