Chris, JP, and all the volunteers......the 'thanks' go to all of you and others elsewhere who have put on youth camps across the US. Reading your thread turned on a very delayed light bulb as to how much effort is involved by everyone to promote and help young pilots. My thinking is if many give a little to help reduce financial concerns, then the organizers will be motivated to continue this program.
Thanks for the invite, retiring next year will allow me the time to return to Adrian. The last time was at the '74 Nationals when the Nimbus ll and ASW 17 was the hot ship and a prototype yellow PIK with FLAPS that created a whole new set of rules. Crewing for someone at 19, I was hooked and wanted a ASW 12. Good thing I had no money, I would have gone off the end of the runway too.
Cheers,
