Yep. But not much shake'n.

year.

You betcha.  It is the only one in the mid-west that we are covering for the
magazine this year.
We will be presenting a forum at the Golden West show addressing the things
we learned about anodizing and aluminum structures.
The Utah Fly-In is still on our list, but we have cancelled our appearance
at the Freedom Fly-In at Mirage Dry Lake.  The @#$% BLM has fenced in the
lake and is charging $15/ car for us to use public land.  We are boycotting
their (Public land BS) facility.

Bad News, A Safari helicopter crashed near Phoenix with two on board.  Fatal
for both.  This helicopter and crew graced the cover of our magazine in Sept
2008.  Details and probable cause TBD.

Sorry to hear about the Safari, that's a bit personal for you. Any idea what
went wrong?

Yeah we knew both people involved and had attended several airshows where
they showed their ship.
The cause is TBD.  I'm sure that the FAA and NTSB will look into it to a
certain level.

I'd been meaning to ask you about that Stu.  That was the Baby Belle
right?  Tragic.

Hello Kevin:  That was the white Safari out of Phoenix with both Mike and
Donna on board.  Both of them were employees of the Phoenix police
department and based on communication received from their co-workers were
well liked.   They will certainly be missed by us here at the magazine as
well.  We had shared time with them at several fly-ins.
