It's been lots of years since I went to the Air Races. I'd like to do it again, but this year is out, as is other flying stuff until I get my medical back--which looks like maybe mid-October. So have fun, folks! Maybe next year.

And it was great meeting you CFOT, as well as Contact. I would've hung out and listened to stories for at least another hour if mini-me could've handled it, same with Jeremy
