Here are the ones that I took, but I hope someone has one of the funny one that we took because my friend erased it with out knowing it! That was such a great night! Thank you guys for having me. I know that I made some good friends that night. P.S. the spinner every one signed looks great! Thank you all.

You can always tell who the pilots are, as a A/C flies by everyone runs outside to see what it is like its the first A/C they have ever seen. Great pic's :wink:

Thanks to Jen who fixed a ton of food and Zach for having us over. I was really hungry and it was great to meet, even briefly some of the folks. Can someone identify each person in the photo?

Let me slao say thanks to Zack and Jenn for the fine food and drink. I'm sorry that we couldnt make it sooner, but we still had tours to conduct and it took tme for us to put the plane away for the evening.

It was nice meeting you, Bill.

Im the guy in the Burgundy flightsuit - second from left in the back row.

PS, did anyone get any decent pictures of the Candy Drop we did on Wednesday?

I would also like to thank Zach and Jen for the great time and hospitality. It was great to meet everyone. Looking forward to next year.

Back row from left is Bill Greenwood, Airlift48, Ron "Kaigun Fan" Werneth, PlaneoldSteve, and myself. The next two gentlemen I didn't get the chance to meet, but next in the black shirt is Pirate Lex, Bear, Mustangdriver, and ???

Front row left is host Zack Baughman. Chad is the farthest to the right in the flightsuits (He'll have to incriminate his buddies). Mitch, on the far right, is a friend of Lex's from lutefisk land.

I've got a few more photos from the party plus evening combat recon in search of "recruits". I'll post more when I get back home this weekend. The tension builds...

And, as already mentioned, the Baughmans are extraordinary hosts. Jenn went way above & beyond the call of duty (again).

Yeah, we're in the WWII flight suits. Kevin Cowger and Sean Cowger. Sean painted the nose art with me. Sean sings and Kevin plays drums in our rockabilly band.
