Well, sure. I mean, they put Pete Townsend and Roger Daltrey in, and
when it was reported, everyone who read about it just said "Who?"

Thanks, I'm here all week.

So I guess Juan knows all about the Ultralight Hall of Fame, since
Zoom was inducted there. 'Cause, everyone knows Zoom holds the
Ultralight altitude record, and he was the first to fly coast to coast
in an UL. So he must have been one of the very first people inducted
there, right?


No need to be catty. You know zoom created the Ultralight Hall of
Fame and paid for it with his own money. He's just too modest to admit it.
