ON MY WAY TO RENO!

Hey guys - on my way out. By now you heard all the bad news from yesterday. If there's anymore crashes I think the FEDS are going to pull the plug on this.

Yesterday we cleaned up the last of Brad Morehouse's stuff and got his widow on a private jet back to her home. My father in law did a great job keeping everything together and providing functional and spiritual leadership. Brad's wife apologized to me when she was leaving for having me come all the way for Reno for nothing - I broke down right there....

The rest of the day turned into a giant airshow - got to crew an L-29 for an checkride and took some great photos - I'll post next week.

Thanks for all the kind words guys, I'll be in touch...

Hey guys - thanks for all the kind words - yesterday we went to the crash site to deal with some remains (enough said). Today we salvaged some components off the aircraft the family wanted - we left the the races at 3 pm - didn't even see the end, all enthusiasm was lost. Still got some nice pics, will post them during the week - the worse is over, we'll deal this and will keep flying I know Brad would of wanted it this way - thanks all!

Joe: I think the entire forum (the regulars) feels your pain.
It's a terrible thing, but as you said, "we'll deal with it". Each,
in his/her own way. Life has to go on.....

On Friday, my friend Doug Gillis had to give an L-29 check ride. We scheduled it for after the race. We went out to midfield where a bunch of aircraft were parked. Well I call this place "Mig City" for obvious reasons -

I thought the same thing - couldn't find anyone there to ask why.

The heritage flight was real good. On Sat they added an A-10. It looked like they were flying together for years....
