Great news Doug! I can't wait to see her in 3 weeks. It's been awhile since she has ventured down here. Are you guys bringing anything else?

OK Doug, you know you'll have to update Cavanaugh's web-site by adding the FG-1C to Fina-CAF Airsho 2007. Hint Hint...

Michel, it all depends...... if we can count all the "flights" Doug has had sitting in the cockpit making engine noises as "logged" time, then its about a week. :lol:
