Pretty astute observation Ron. I didn't notice that until you mentioned it. Stan must have squated to get his sweet baby in the pic too, huh?

Stan, you really are the man! Thanks we are having a ball with these pics!

We plan on doing Mentone & Cedar Point Amusement park this summer, I hope I get to talk to you this time. Maybe even a little ride in your machine?

Chris: I am really looking forward to flying to Mentone. Its just 121 miles and this year I wont have to consider a fuel stop.

I will be there three days and will definately want to meet you. I joined the Chapter 18 rotorcraft club last year while at Mentone. I think they are planning on having a booth. I will be there a lot if they do.

I am kind of a camera nut...and usually have my digital with me. Yesterday a big red tailed hawk was close enough for a good shot...but I wasnt quite quick enough. I didnt want

I too am planning to fly up for Mentone, but it is a little far to fly there in my ultralight or a gyro, so I will be taking my Piper Pa-20. Probably only be there Friday afternoon and Saturday, Leave Dawn sunday morning.

Stan, just try not to say anything that will make Ron smile. Those teeth of his (with the bugs) will gross you out.
