Airshow season is over
Well, the 2006 airshow season is over. I've burned
over 400 gallons of jet-A this summer and there is no doubt that the twin-jet glider is the most fun aircraft I've ever flown. Thanks to all the guys at AMT-USA for their support, and a big thanks to all the airshow volunteers and sponsors without whom the airshows would not go on. I've also really enjoyed meeting the turbine model flyers at the shows.

Bob,
I didnt get a chance to see you this year but several of my friends caught you at airshows around the midwest. They all thought it was VERY cool. I had to remind most of them that most of your aerobatics are done engine OFF! ah the uneducated masses Keep up the good work and the great PR for the sport. Ill try to make it out next year...

Actually, I do the acro with the engines on. I pull
the engines to flight idle for the upper part of the show, but the last half is down low, mostly with engines at full power.

Bob... maybe you should try to get into the "Aviation Nation" airshow for
future events. The Aviation Nellis Show at Nellis AFB is normally held Veterans Day Weekend. BT "Bob C" wrote in message ... Well, the 2006 airshow season is over.

BT,
Thanks for the suggestion. However, Nellis stiffed me about 4 years ago. Promised repeatedly that they'd hire me (along with several other performers), then dropped us about three weeks out. As usual with USAF, lots of paperwork, but no deposit. I turned down another regular show based on their promise, and was left empty that weekend. I'm not anxious to pursue that one again.

Jack,
Couldn't find you after the show. Didn't want your beer to get warm, so we consumed it. You missed a hell of a survivor's party that Saturday night... SSA convention maybe?
