Pant..Pant...slobber..slobber....errrgggh. Ok, thanks paul. I'm ok now!
Whew. That was close. Whew! Thanks!

I have to watch more "Dog Whisperer"! Old dogs have terrible habits. I am really embarrassed for my response. :oops: not! 8)

Darn "Uncle Jack"! (not as in Cook) I promise to be better in the future.

I'm a firm believer in ... "Share the wealth' .... Chino .... drinks on me. Better bring your "A" game ... :wink: :wink: :wink:

OK, seriously, who's going to be at Chino this year? ... I want to go and I want some WIX dudes in the mix. Sign up now, I'll take care of the rest. You better get a "hall pass" from the wife though ... :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink:

You need to get your mind right, and adopt the "Skyraider" mindset.....

No need to choose, take 'em all, big and small. :twisted:

Well..I remember your original handle of Hellcatdriver and your dad's history, but I see
several reasons why yer handle oughta' be Hellcatdriver. WIX has needed a designated MackDaddy!!!

Hmmm...met EricD and airlift48 at Goshen last year. Of course Eric had the ladies all cornered :( Met Bill G at TOM a couple years ago. Lex at Oshkosh. Had a great conversation with Bob Odegaard at Cleveland one year and again at TOM the following year.

Really wanna meet and buy a beer for Scott for putting up this fantastic site and for putting up with some of us dummies :drink3: And you too mustangdriver :drink3:

Great site and for the most part, a great bunch of people...now back to the pix of the girls in their short tees pleez :P :P :P

This was our "mini" WIX gathering in November -- yet another failed excursion to the Quonset Air Museum.......We had to settle for beverages and food instead of warbirds!
