I guess that I will take the opportunity to top post here, as see no

As one of the first (and very few) participants in the first fly-in at
PJY, I would like to help set the record straight. As a close
associate of Bill Phillips, I can assure you that he never wanted to
keep JRJ from hosting the Pinckneville event. The Jean (NV) event,
which Bill and I coordinated, was never intended to replace any other
fly-in. It was intended as an event for those who could not make it
all the way from the west coast to PJY. Highflyer did attend, and he
flew out in a Cessna 175. He has lots of stories about that trip.

JRJ is a fine person and his wife Mary is a Saint. Pinckneyville
itself does have some shortcomings, and these were expressed on this
group by Bill and myself. The fly-in is what you make of it. It
(after four trips) just was not worth the 1200 mile trip.

I wish that JRJ would participate more in this group. He and Mary
paid me a personal visit at The Selma Aerodrome , and I would welcome
both of them here again.

Like me, I think that John stayed with the group as long as he felt
that it was worth the effort. You should notice (and may welcome) the
fact that I also now rarely post here.

Well put O'ring. We never did a thing to derail the PJY flyin. We
just got to the point where we felt that the expenditure of money to
go there was not worth the effort. The Jean fly in was something we
organized for the West Coast people to attend who didn't have the
skills or experience to attempt a long x-country flight to PJY in IMC
or marginal VFR conditions.

Many other things happened between JRJ and us that were unrelated.
Our personality conflicts had nothing to do with the hosting of any of
the RAH fly ins. This chicken **** muther ****er is spewing the
normal rah bull **** in an attempt to make himself look like a "great
sage of rah" who has read every post and who knows it all when what
he is is a chicken**** little ******* who has always been too cowardly
to post in his real name because he knows there are people here who
might hunt his ass down and teach him a lesson.
