Great shots, sucks I was a day late and dollar short. It's 1400, and I've finally got a few planes gone over, charged, and setup with the new radio. Leeann's Eagle 2, my Ultra Sport .40, RV-4, the ASK-21 Glider, and UMX Spitfire are good to go. Working on the Sukhoi now, still have the 60cc Aeromaster, Telemaster, and Leeann's Cub to go. Figured I've started, might as well de-winterize and do full maintenance on the entire fleet, and get that out of the way. If we get a decent weekend, then I can be set to load up the trailer, and head to the field. Hope there was a good turnout, Vic, have a great time in California, you've earned it after a long, distinguished career in the Reg Force. Now you can relax, and be a slack and idle double-dipping Reservist! You are my hero, you made it to the dream time of finally getting paid more, to do less, rather than 30 plus years of the other way around. Good Luck!

It was great meeting some of you, though I'm still not 100% sure who I met exactly. Still trying to patch up forum names to faces... several Johns I know that. Anyway, good time and I was very happy to be around RC again, it's been too long. Thanks to Vic especially for showing me around his workshop, very inspirational. It's definitely time to start figuring out what gear I need and getting my club membership sorted out. Thanks to all for being so welcoming.

The John's are easy, Red John,(John Forsythe) Old John (John Fennel) Jean-Guy (J-G, or Moneybags Malenfant). I think that's all the Johns. Don't forget, if you weren't inundated with info already, we have several club trainers, 3 nitro, one electric, so you can get re-familiarized with flying, get comfortable up to the MAAC wings standard, till you're ready to fly your own stuff, and it's only costing you the membership.

I'll figure it all out, and will get my memberships and MAAC sorted out (here and at HEFA I think) asap.

Thanks for the photos J-G, and thanks to all those who attended!
Everything truly came together for the day, with good weather, not too cold, barely a breath of wind for 75% of the morning, and great ice conditions. Not to mention an awesome bunch of guys enjoying our great sport.
Mary and I had a blast hosting the event.
