Free rides wanted

This just in.
Aviation enthusiast and small plane nerd Jeff Mann will be in the Seattle area for two weeks at the end of July and the beginning of August. Jeff will be offering his famous class on aviation BS and hangar talk. For those of you interested in offering free rides, Jeff will provide a specialized ciriculum designed to improve your aviation BS skills. Learn to explain how Bermuda grass is easier to land on than Rye, and how convince your friends that those bouncy landings are intentional. Learn the basics of technobabble.
Contact Jeff on this website and get started today!

I don't need your help to look more like a small airplane nerd!

I WILL take you up on the bouncy landing "i meant to do that" short course, however.

In a proper wheel landing, all that's left of the plane is the wheels.

Okay, I'm serious about being in Seattle for a few weeks at the end of July and the first few weeks in August. There a a bunch of strips I'd like to see particulary this one. I'll buy lunch and gas.

I know Carey Gray and Marc Olsen have been in there. Marc is on this site as 'Mikey' I think, but Carey you have to PM via supercub.org.
