Thanks to everyone who attended the TCFG Fly-In at Willow Run Airport and made it such a special event. We had an awesome time and are still wearing big smiles from the memories!! Couldn't ask for a greater group of people to spend a few days with telling stories, laughing and talking Commanders. We'll let Moe tell you about a special pair of boots he received/won at auction for being such a "kick ass pilot"
A big thank you to the group of attendees for your generosity in raising over $2,000 for the Blue Goose restoration!! WOW!!!
If you've never attended you really need to make it a priority to come next year and meet some of these incredible people. You're guaranteed to have a great time. BTW. we're taking suggestions on where to have the event next year -- some suggested venues include the Washington DC area, Branson, MO, and Colorado Springs.

Those were not chalks – they were railroad ties!

Jim,
Thanks very much for being my P.R. man! It is such an honor to be the only one named in your email about the event.
Surely you and Peter heard the conversation that I had with the Lineman at Active Aero Services at departure time. It seems that he also is a boots aficionado and was duly impressed with the fact that they are genuine Mexican Leather. Later, while refueling at Hill City, Kansas (HLC) the City Manager (also the Airport Manager) saw them in the back of the plane and was so happy about the boots that he smiled broadly. As an aside, this is really a nice airport with $ 5.25 avgas. Next week plans call for a flight to Los Angeles, so naturally a photo of the boots was emailed to a young lady that I hang out with when in the Los Angeles area, and she has suggested that they not be worn in the West Los Angeles/ Eastern Beverly Hills area. Obviously she is concerned that some of the Hollywierd types might mug me to get the boots. I can hardly wait until Halloween, they will look so in style with my pirate suit.
The kick ass pilot thing had not come to mind, however, it has become the truth, and will be repeated by myself repeatedly.
Hopefuly, Sue is at least half as happy with her new bracelet, as I am with the boots.
This was really a fun event! The trip to Ford, and actually being in a 747-400 sim are things that will never be forgotten.
Branson or D.C. would be good for next year, but in the past went to Colorado Springs several times with the first ex wife to vesit her relatives, and don't remember much of anything good there.

Tyler,
Not being a Jet A type of guy I didn't give the Jet A apparatus much scrutiny, however, everything at HLC is well taken care of and very neat
so I am sure that it is all good.

Hello Commander folks,
Great thanks for Sue & Jim (who does some stuff here and there), and all the presenters. These meetings are fun but also informative.
I don't need to add a lot more than what Dan Farmer said about the Fly-IN. If you have a Commander you'll learn so many more tricks surrounded by experts who have proven themselves over the decades which I don't need to mention since we know who they are. You'll also be surprised on how much the users also know about these greatly designed machines.
I don't have a Commander, but surely being around this group of people my road to find one is clearer every yearly attendance; best of all, I truly enjoy the very small group.
It was an eye opener to visit Kalitta Air, what an operation (thanks John Towner); I'm leaving for Paris tomorrow, and I won't see the airline the same way since this visit!
Chris Wall's adventure was also a highlight, not just to hear his story but see how he deals with Commanders as well, was really inspiring and has planted ideas in me that hopefully will give fruits in the future.
The walk around the plane is another favorite for me, and it has even helped me to point out procedures to other Commander drivers.
For those who couldn't attend and that are regulars, you'll recognize the usual crowd; it's great to see few new faces as well (look who's talking).
As usual, scroll and pick up anything you want, it's open to the public and you can download anything you want.
Take care you all and see you next year... we hope!
