Congrats Steve (taildrgfun)

Just saw this article come through my email inbox.

http://www.eaa.org/lightplaneworld/arti ... dstick.asp

I've flown with Steve as several of you here have and it was probably the funniest flying day I've ever had. Steve showed me the in and outs of the Big Creek drainage. Without his calm reassuring voice on the radio that day I'm not sure I would have gotten up the balls to try Vines and Dewey. Congrats on being a celebrity for doing something you love!

I met Steve and his wife in July at Oshkosh with their Highlander. Very nice folks and definately the real deal in the sky.

I'm a little miffed with him though as I just pee'd my pants watching that segment starting at 1:38 on his teaser video! Don't scare me like that!

Re: Congrats Steve (taildrgfun)

Congrats on the article Steve, well deserved. At OshKosh Steve had a shirt on that said "I'm that guy!". I've been a couple of conversations with other pilots where someone mentions seeing a video of a nutjob that rolls off of a cliff with the engine off, I've been proud to mention "I know that guy!"

Hey!..I met Steve at JC in June..and bought his video..nifty machine there and the pilot ain't bad either. I made my own videos of Steve the last two years at JC just to show the non-believers.
Congrats
