Speaking of seats...

Sorry I didn't make down Friday....bad case of Pink eye kept me home with antibiotic goop in both eyes :evil:

those seats are yours if you still want 'em. Not sure when i'll be back down that way again though.

Can do.

If we both have time, I'll see about a nickle tour of the base and the museum. Ain't much (all the really cool stuff is out on the ranges...no ground acsess. Or you can get low overflight permission? Not sure what the "rules" are regarding that sort of thing on the weekends) But it's what I can offer.

I have a 12 pass van for crew haulage (if you don't mind cookie crumbs and a few dessicated french fries, hey, it hauls kids around :lol: )
