The "boys and girls" just buzzed us here at Hill. The pre-show is nice too...should be a great weekend for aviation lovers.
Anybody else get e-mail from her today?? Huh? Huh?
So, just me then I guess,
Dang Parrot, I SWEAR you'd referred to that girl as your wife at some point, LOL! Maybe 'cause I *&$#ed up and did that to myself, I figured everybody else was that dumb

Scott,
If you are in contact with her,i hope your hitting her up for 12FS Eagle ref's rather than boring T-Bird stuff..
Exactly. I have Nicole Malachowski's jet refs, and after I got the TONS of stuff back from Elmendorf and read about her selection, I thought it would be neat to do her jet with the 12th, so I started digging, and it paid off this morning.
You hafta love anybody who takes the time to help out a model geek with their jet, LOL!

No problemo, Scott .
I'll just have to make sure to get an autographed 8x10 at the first airshow I see her at ! Make sure you give her our congradulations (especially mine!) on her selection for the Team !!!
