Hey guys,

I thought I'd follow up on my last post in this discussion from a couple months ago, hopefully this one won't be quite as controversial.

After that post I heard from Scott Hinton, and after much coordination took delivery of my new plane, the pristine N78WG, about a month ago. After 5 days of WX slip and a grueling day ferrying towards her new home base north of Salt Lake I stopped in Oklahoma to bed her down and wait until I get some better WX and more time off. For some reason they wouldn't let me skip TDYs to continue the ferry operation - weird...

Anyhow, I appreciate all the input and am counting down the days until I can complete the ferry and add my plane to the SLC Thorp squadron, hopefully mid-May timeframe. At that point Frase better be ready to get spun up on the finer points of tactical intercepts and high angle strafe...

Congrats on N78WG .. That's a fantastic airplane! I'm shocked that Scott let it go.

Fraser,
You must be worried about a home invasion by Navy guys (who live on boats with 5000 other men) trying to slip into your six.

Lee, not as shocked as I was .... I've taken a new job running a flight training facility for Liberty University. Lots of airplanes to fly, an impending move, 3 kids all heading to college this fall, and before I knew it - sold. No worries though, the right pilot bought the plane. Paul didn't tell you he's a F-16 pilot, so I'm sure Frasier and Homey will have their hands full with him on their tail(s). I'll be moving again in a couple of years, and I plan to follow the lead of my hero, Frasier and buy another Thorp. See you guys at Sun N Fun.
