And the day could have been better. There was the point they called Serge on high in his heavy only to find out there were no clouds on the Whites. However they got 'er done when lesser men turned back.

Nixus is not using Tom's fuselage, his glider was purchased by a local company. Some kind of drone type application, though I don't know the specifics. Only that I saw the trailer and got excited that someone had bought the glider. But alas, it will serve another purpose.

Yes, I was mistaken.Â* I dug through my pictures and saw that his had
Sierra Foxtrot on the tail and the one that Jim flew had something else
(SA?).
