Thank you wind Delay

[brian]

I was very sad to see we were going to have a wind delay at Dayton. What to do? We went to the Air Force Museum. I have seen the signs for this for years and just never have had the time. The wind delay was well worth the 4 heats of racing I lost.

I started out the tour with Jim Robb a Air force Vet and good friend. It was an awesome display of what Americans can do when challenged. From "Doolittles heroes" http://www.npr.org/templates/story/s...toryId=9714965 to the f-22 it was amazing.

I lost Jim but found more friends; retired Air force pilots Mike Marshall and Jack Stotts. Mike and Jack gave us unique history and insight into the planes and tactic used for each aircraft. Jack was actually a crew member on one of the planes in the museum and Mike flew several of the planes on display.

I would like to say thank you to Jim, Jack and Mike for the tour it was the highlight of a weekend.

It is an awesome tour if you have the time to do it.

Brian: thanks for the "cup's half full" perspective. Eddie.

Dayton Fun

Ed and all that went --- I told the wife after you announced the calling of Saturdays race that the boys and I were headed to the hangers as many did. It made the race this year even more memorable. See attached pics.

Thanks Ed... I guess the half empty part is I only raced FER so Jerry or George could set a record. He did not.

The record runs are more than just a race for points.

Look at a couple of the stories from this weekend:

Tom Smith had a record but there was only three boats, so no record. Then we got a 4th boat on the water and he jumps the gun.

Jerry D. is in George Luce's boat attempting to break George's FER record. Only in Boat racing. Proud to know and race with the Luces and many other great families in our sport.

I don't finish first very often, but I sure do love trying.
