Jim & Sue,  

   

Thanks for another great Fly-In event.  Sandy and I had a great time!    

   

The big secret to the success of the TCFG Fly-Ins is – the people – the Commander enthusiasts who attend year after year and make our RSVP a quick and easy decision.    

   

I say this even though one of those special people snuck up behind my airplane as I was preparing for departure today – and whilst busy with such things as writing down the ATIS / copying the IFR clearance / dialing in frequencies / entering the flight plan into the GPS, etc., etc. – said person puts what appear to be 2 small railroad ties around my starboard tire – so that when I go to taxi (and severely cannot) I wonder through a checklist of possibilities: "Why am I not moving? ... I have plenty of power … The parking brake is not on.  Oh no! … God NO!  Did I forget to remove the chocks as I try to taxi right here in front of Captain Jim Bob, Sue, et al?  No wait – I know I didn’t!  There was only 1 and I pulled it away – I know I did! … What in the hell is going on!?"   

   

The accused shall go un-named so as to prevent retaliation – such as receiving unwanted rudder awards.  

   

Thanks to all who attended and especially to those who presented or added their experience and knowledge to the group.  

   

Bob and Sandy

Hi Bob Steele & all on the TCFG         website,

       

       Bob great e-mail, don't feel bad about the chocks I have done         it more than I want to admit.  I also want to say, great TCFG         get together this year too.  I hope we can have the TCFG get         together next year at Dulles/Washington.  I think I told almost         everyone at the TCFG this year about my experience going to the         new Air & Space Museum at Dulles that opened in 2004 (it is         really special) and it took my breath away!  Cpt Jim/Bob &         Sue thank you again for a great job.  With our great country we         just have to get things turned around, seeing Kalitta and all of         us getting the $.05/25  tour reinforces to me, not giving up and         failure is not an option.  Also hearing Chris Wall's story again         never gets old and what a special story that really exemplifies         the American spirit.

         

         Take care all , fly safe and all the best.  (give your Commander         a hug and if I can help with Commandeer technical  assistance         etc please feel free to call or e-mail me)  PS-in the past I         have not been able to e-mail to the TCFG web site but I will try         this time

       

       YOUR FRIEND,

Hi John,

  

 Nice report on the flyin for those of us who couldn't be there; also  the email from Bob and Sandy. Thanks.

  

 What exactly are you trying to do when you say that you are not able  to e-mail to the TCFG's website? I'd like to fix it if I can get a better  understanding of what is failing. 

  

 Please also visit the Commander facebook page and click on "Like" to  indicate that you are a fan. You may recognize a lot of stuff folks have sent to  us over the past couple of years:

 Thanks

  

 Nico

As a helicopter instructor I would always indoctrinate my  new students by banging in rhythmic fashion on the landing skid the moment they  shutdown the engine, always good for a chuckle.

John, 

    

   Thanks so very much for arranging the tour of Kalitta's amazing operation.  It was definitely one of the highlights of the event and does give you a glimmer or hope about our economy.  Nice to see a thriving business in today's chaotic business climate.  

    

   Was wonderful seeing you again, John!!  Will keep you posted on next year's event.  

    

   ~Jim & Sue

Hi John,

  

 Let me know if you still have problems with emailing to the site. I  couldn't replicate the problem the last time I checked, so if it still acts up,  let me know exactly where in the site you are when the problem occurs.  

  

 Thanks

  

 Nico
