Got published

If a picture is worth a thousand words, and you have a 250-300 word limit,
then 5 thumbnails should just about do it. g

You know the drill Jack ...

1. (It's) summer in Wisconsin.
2. Did you hear Neil Armstrong speak on Friday night? If yes, maybe slip
his name into the article.
3 That's it - only two. :-)

Nice newsletter article.

(Non-newsletter question) How was it decided that you would be the one to
land at Oshkosh? Coin flip?

Thanks for the Concorde's Last Flight photos - very cool.

My FBO asked me to write an article for their first newsletter. Here's
what
I put together. Lookout Jay... :-) No, seriously, not as good as the
stuff
you've written and had published...but, hey, it's a start. Gotta work on
getting paid for this though.

I have a tough assignment. I'm supposed to describe my trip to Oshkosh
("EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2003" in proper phraseology) in roughly one page.
250-300 words are what Phyllis said I had. And some folks think flying
with
Tim in the right seat is challenging? Piece of cake compared to this.
Ah,
but I digress and use up valuable words in the process.

Its summer in Wisconsin and the grass stays green without sprinklers. So,
yes, we got wet.

Missed the Neil Armstrong talk Friday...was the only night we could visit
one of our cousins and her family.

Its/It's...hey, my editing person missed that one. You, my friend, pass the
test with flying colors.

Ok, I'll take one for two of your standard drill. Next time, you're up for
proof reading :-)

"Landing rights", basically, I took the initiative and claimed them.
Early in the trip discussion process, my brother was out of currency so we'd
talked about me flying left seat and handling all takeoffs/landings.
Further along in the process, my brother decided to get current again and
one time when discussing how to split up flight duties, I said something
like "Doesn't matter all that much, all I want to do is the OSH
arrival"...to which, my brother said "Ok, so long as I get to do the
departure". Done deal. Gotta figure a new angle for next year though :-)
