or Walt? Who's the best pilot? We'll, you're looking at him!
:-D
(notice, I purposely kept BWB out of the competition.)

Thanks for keeping me out of the contest. Hell, I'm just a light
aircraft driver with 5000 hours in all kinds of **** from gliders to
hot air balloons and seaplanes to helicotpers. I think the only
civilian rating I don't have is BLIMP. Ha Ha Of course there are
hundreds of type ratings I don't hold.

Never flew the big iron. I spent this weekend flying helicopters all
over the ****ing place...logged 12 hours in choppers just Friday, Sat
and Sun.

For Juan, I was at French Valley airport in the R-44 on Friday evening
taking a fuel filter to a buddy stranded there in his MD-500 and saw
a BD-5J mounted on a pole in front of the main terminal building. It
had the thrust reversers opened up and looked to me to be a kit that
nobody completed. Looked good too. Someone might buy that thing and
finish it.


O.K, seriously, my guess is that Walt has more stick time, if he
wasn't just a crew chief or something, and Juan is an accomplished
builder and aspiring driver. But one thing bugs me, and that is: How
come Juan never flys his creations? I mean it would make a great
story for his writing gig. Medical?
It's worth answering to get the jackel pack off his back.

I can't seem to finish my project by the way. I think I'll just have
to stick it on a pole or something. :-(


See above!

BWB


Best wishes guys,

(p.s: Walt, what seat did you fly in?)
