Default meeting net.friends IRL


Last weekend, we decided to celebrate my birthday and our anniversary,
by flying down to D.C. to see the still-new flight musueum. Very
worthwhile for anyone with any interest in aviation.

I pinged Ron & Margy and despite their busy schedule was able to get
together with them. For those paying attention, Margy has the coolest
job in the country.

It was great to finally meet them. I've been active in r.a.* for
about 8 years and have "known" Ron & Margy almost as long, but have
never until now met them In Real Life.

Counting Ron & Margy, I've met less than a dozen people around here.
Looking forward to doubling that number next month on my first trip
to P'ville and have a tentative date to see Bob Barker some time this
summer. Missed meeting Jay Honeck last summer due to an inconvenient
line of Thunderstorms, but might get another chance this year if
plans work
out.

I'm currently based at White Plains, NY and I know there are a number
of regulars in the area. Is there any interest in a once a month
Sunday Brunch fly-in? We can select different places in the NE each
month. The restaurant at KSWF serves amazing chocolate chip pancakes,
so that would be a good place to start next month.
