I think if we think about what we say before we say it and treat each other a bit better then the positiveness will follow.
We don't need a contest for that :idea:

Jack who just put his flame suit back on :rolleyes:

Mean while back at the ranch, 51fixer...Rich Palmer, hands down the best poster on the WIX board....

I expect more votes than I am getting. You guys are slipping up. :rolleyes:

I vote for Taigh.

My vote would go to either Taigh Ramey or Rich Palmer. I am biased of course by my maintenance background because there are several other posters who offer terrific threads and manage to stay out of the rock throwing business. I also like Jacks historical pics but yet several others post great pics from current airshows or museum crawls (Mike Henninger). Perhaps the moddies could come up with a ballot of potential winners and we could then cast a vote. Maybe we could have different winner categories such as best Maintenance post, best photo shoot, Best "scoop" story (Breaking news). Just my $.02

Franklyn - poster - that's a person, not a thread. Axle wrapping. Don't get wound around the axle. Have another go!

It's the poster who created the thread (Nathan) ... last I heard he wasn't a thread but a poster which is usually something you pin to your wall, but I get the point your trying to make :wink:

.. And it's Franklin with an "i" not a "y" :!:

... A "y" would get wound around an axle easier I would think ... lol ... how's that for another go?

Seriously? Nathan is a good dude and you have to admit that one particular thread he started sure has had some strong airplay here on WIX. Taigh Ramey would be a close second.

Oh, do you mean the, "What airplane did you see fly today" thread? I can't say I did anything special.

As they say in Philly- Vote Early and Vote Often.

Really, Guys. Taigh is great and saving the Lockheed is a spectacular endeavor and all, but it is a Bomber.

I look at this and see the "Tastes Great- Less Filling" commercial happening all over again.
Fighter vs Bomber!
Fighter = Cool. We're polished, painted and get the Pretty gals. We're the best, Just ask any Fighter Pilot around. :wink:

Besides, Taigh has it too easy. He doesn't have to work on or fly anything British. :union:

Seriously, Thanks for including what Jim and I do in your WIX viewing.
I'm honored just to be mentioned along with some of the great people around here.
Fighters Rule :spit2

While everyone on WIX contributes in one way or another there are several members that really stick out in my mind.

I agree with nominating Rich and Taigh. I really enjoy Rich's updates of all the maintenance involved in keeping a variety of warbirds flying.

I think Taigh's Harpoon rescue and his informed posts on all things turret related are great.

I'd also like to nominate Chris/Mustang Driver for all of his Warbird Rescue efforts and his work at Grissom.

Bomberflight has been doing a great job of covering warbird goings-on in England, and his Mary Alice thread is just fantastic.

I also enjoy Ryan Short's L-Bird related posts.

Thanks for sharing your adventures with us guys!

Here's a contest: Whoever can go a day without misunderstanding one of my posts and turning it into a flame war .... gets an all expenses paid trip to a warn, sunny beach resort :wink:

... hint: If confused, PM's work nicely if sent nicely. :rolleyes:

It's pretty sad when I'm in the running...
I'm with the guys on Taigh or Rich.
I also think Jack Cook has a pretty valid couple of points.

If Meier Motors keep collecting planes and Matthias Dorst keeps showing us them in detail in photo laden threads he is a good tip for the rookie award (and also best foreign)
