Default central texas jet rally wrap up

I want to thank all of the pilots who attended this years central texas jet rally. Though Saturday became interesting weather-wise, friday and sunday certainly were wonderful days for some jet flying. I will post some images soon but a few items from the meet.

Best Scale Jet: Paul Bingham's Yellow F-18 (twin)
Best Sport Jet: Ray Blair's Jolly Roger Bandit
Pilot's Choice: Mike Jensen's NATO F-16 (Avonds)
Peoples Choice: Paul Bingham's Yellow F-18 (twin)
Top Gun: Larry Laughlin and his Kingcat

47 registered pilots
3 incidents, zero fires!

18 pizza's consumed at friday lunch
20 lbs of fajita meat at friday dinner (too much left over guys, you need to work on that!)
60 lbs of steak consumed saturday evening.

by noon on sunday we had run out of everything.

Thanks again for an outstanding event. I will say again how humbled I am to have such a great group of guys attend this event.

Pat, Bob, all......

Thanks for a great time. Your field is absolutely beautiful, and the trees are located exactly where I need them to be

You also have a wonderful city. The food at Doña Emilia's on Chavez st. was most excellent.

Hope to see you guys soon.

Just got a new job so I will bring a turbine next time.

Best regrads,

David

I too want to thank of all the pilots that showed for the event. Especially want to thank all the pilots that flew on Saturday under not so ideal conditions. You put on a great show for tons of spectators that attended. Great job.

All donations can be made out to my retirement account Otherwise, bring hotdogs and marshmellows, as I got enough flame out of three engines this weekend to take care of everyone!

Sean - didn't think the AMA rules allow for afterburners yet! [8D]

And Thanks to Pat and the ARCA club for hosting a great jetfly, regardless of the less-than-perfect Saturday weather. If you couldn't go, you also missed Fajitas, Steaks, and cake!!

Don't forget the Mexican vanilla ice cream. There was even more cake on Sunday. Never seen your TopCat fly better than it did this past weekend. Great job.

Thanks Patrick, Bob and all the rest of the Austin bunch for feeding and taking great care of us this weekend. This was our first time at Austin and certainly will not be our last. We had a great time!! Already looking forward to next year.

Jim and Karen
