"Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well-preserved body,
but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting....

The joint trip to RDG last Sun. with the New England Pilots Group was a wonderful trip. Besides PERFECT flying Wx, we ate at a great fly-in restaurant overlooking the field. We taxied over the the Mid-Atlantic Musuem, and saw many great Exhibits, including old airliners with Eastern Airlines and others, from an era when commerical flying was actually enjoyable. The also had a P-61 Black Widow, 1 of only 4 in the entire world. The one there is being restored to be the only one actually flying.
