Amen Chuck, the only positive thing that ever could be attributed to
zoom is that he caused alot of good folks to become friends. You have
done more positives for sport aviation than zoom or any of his
puppets. You are a good man and a friend.
Happy Holidays,

Thanks Frank, your right I have met a lot of good people because of zoom .People
I probably never would have met in the normal course of business. The RAH-15 is
group that I'm especially proud to be a part of.With one exception the RAH-15
has held firm against the crap zoom has done not only to me but to a lot of
people. Mainly I believe, due to a sense of right and wrong that the RAH-15
possesses and the determination to see that right prevails.

zoom used to be able to bully most people early on but you and a few others
stood up to him. Eventually thru RAH a lot of us who thought we stood alone
found out we weren't the only ones being zoomed and found strength to stand up
to him as well.

The list of those who have been zoomed is now long and illustrious and reads
like a Who's Who of Sport Aviation. "The proud the many ..the zoomed".

Now a days if someone gets the dreaded "Govern yourself accordingly" warning
or a terse "authorities are being notified" or the ever popular "I'll see you in
court!!" .Instead of cringing in fear of a lawsuit we laugh and ask for a "I've
been zoomed" T shirt to wear proudly at air shows. Now zoom is a caricature of a
aviator a sum of all that is a joke in the flying world. He's a empty can making
a lot of noise that is laughed at by those he's trying so hard to impress.

Come on zoomy did you really pull that many G's in the Sukoi? did you really fly
food missions in Africa?,do you really think people believe your a "test" pilot?
did you really make emergency parachute jumps from crippled planes? Did you
......Aw never mind you might believe it but few others do.

So all I can say at this point is I'm glad to know ya and glad we're friends.
Hell I'll go steal chicken with you anytime LOL!!

Merry Christmas or Wesolych swiat bozego narodzina
