say again-- RA parties

You all are the reincarnation of the Wrong Brothers Air Force party of
thirty years ago in the UW-O dorms. We invited the WORLD to the party and
got aussies, airline captains, nubile 18 year olds, and the odd pilot from
east bf egypt to the gig.

As the last remaining Colonel (we were all Colonels) of the Wrong Brothers
Air Force, I commission Jay, Montblack, Jack, Dan, and anybody else who
wants to apply for a Wrong Brothers commission to the North 40 wing of the
WBAF.

I am the Colonel of the Grass Valley Wing, and apparently the last surviving
Colonel of the WBAF.

I'll print them out and sign them tonight and email them to Jay for
distribution tomorrow.

They are suitable for framing. The North 40 party could do worse than
naming themselves the Wrong Brothers Air Force North 40 convention.

I guess I shouldn't have invited the Cherokee Pilots Association? Or
the Swedish Bikini Team? Or the Friends of Iowa City Airport? Or
every guest who has EVER stayed at the inn? Or the Aerohawks R/C
Airplane Club....

Air Force, I commission Jay, Montblack, Jack, Dan, and anybody else who

WBAF.

An honor, Sir!

For some reason the party has never really had a name. It started out
the Alexis Park Inn & Suites party. Then it morphed into the
rec.aviation party. Now it's growing beyond the borders of even THAT
humongous group of pilots.

And if the food runs out, oh well -- I'm sure there will still be folks
bringing beer. That's the way it was in the beginning (hell, we didn't
even *have* food), and I suspect it won't change any time soon.

We'll miss you and Gail, Jim. Damn, I hope you can make it in '07!

Negative! Your are the Senior Colonel (you have me by a couple years).
I still represent WBAF HQ Staff (there are a couple of us remaining).

Next order of business... do we reinstate the Purple Hat?

Thank God. I knew if I posted here I'd troll up another Colonel or two.
Good for us. Is Colonel John still ... ummm ... with us? Debbie? Last
Colonel I saw was Joni Benedict 6 or 7 years ago.



Next order of business... do we reinstate the Purple Hat?

ABSOLUTELY. And I've got the damned thing around here somewhere. It is
probably with my green hat, wherever the hell that is. BTW, Colonel Joni
bought a stash of the old greenies, but the last I saw of them was the last
time I saw her.

If you will instruct Colonel Jay in the proper selection of candidates and
winner of the Purple Hat, I'll see to it that they get it in the mail,
possibly before they go home.

Jay ... your certificates are painstakingly working their way to you via the
World Wide Wait; each one is 5MB and while we have broadband, 20 MB of
upload is still a bunch.

It is quarter of one your time on Saturday right now. If you don't see them
by two, drop me a line and I'll see if something went astray.

I believe Colonel John is still alive and kicking. He moved to Florida
10 years ago. He sold Port-O-John where we based the Champ until the new
owner's wife insisted on having airport insurance and having the flying
club pay for it. I haven't heard where Debbie is now. I have heard
Colonel Joni is still in the area, but is not involved in aviation.

We need to find a new source of hats.
What did you do and when did you earn the Purple one?
On second, thought, we'll discuss that another time.

If you will instruct Colonel Jay in the proper selection of candidates and
winner of the Purple Hat, I'll see to it that they get it in the mail,
possibly before they go home.

We shall discuss the awarding criteria and potential candidates at
evening debriefings this week.
How many judges should be on the new committee? I think we had five on
the original.

WBAF N40 "Wing" since all affiliates are Wings.

Insert mental image of a towering Montblack outfitted in a bright yellow
"Security" t-shirt shouting "Nandisca! Nandisca! Nobeerforu!" at a bus load
of camera laiden foreign tourists. Our own security bear! (teddy)

This has not been a problem in the past, but I wanted to get it out there,
anyway.

This is a "rec.aviation" cookout.

By all means bring your co-pilot, a co-worker, a co-volunteer who's hungry
and tired, a friend, girlfriend, boyfriend, spouse, kids, interesting
guest
("Oui Oui"), etc, but please DO NOT round up all your fellow campers,
hallmates, RV group, or EAA Chapter mates, etc.

Thanks much. It'll help us keep a handle on things.

That said, we "especially" like meeting LURKERS at the Rec.Aviation* N40
Party! That's always fun!

Lurkers, it's time to de-lurk! ...so, eat, drink and say "Hi" ...or just
stand around, quietly, and listen to the hangar lying all evening. :-)
