RE: Spectator Access at Jet Events
A couple of years ago a guy wanders into my pit, then leans on my tailgate and then proceeds to trip over my Boomerang that was on the ground being fueled. He busted the horizontal stab and the booms. Then the butt head walks away and says nothing. At another event a lady came up and asked if her kid could play with one of the planes because he was getting bored, and she was serious. Tell me I have an attitude about people that can't keep themselves or their spoiled brats away from my planes, Jets or Prop jobs, and you will be right. This is not an elitist jet jock thing, it is about protecting a sizeable investment. I agree with David, my dogs know how to behave around RC models better than most people.

RE: Recent status of the legislative effort
Way to go Bob! All I got back from Pelosi's pet Cathy Castor (D- Tampa, FL) was a form letter that did not relate to the issue at all. I will re-send a more pointed one to her ASAP. I must give two thumbs to Marco Rubio our senator, he replied back actually mentioning what I wrote to him about. Regards, Bill

Duke, I hope to see you at FL Jets this year, We can finally put this Big Johnson issue to rest. Mine is bigger[:D]. Plus it never exceeds 200 mph. Beave, I agree with you wholeheartedly, the FEDs will come down hard if provoked, they always do. My experiences though are with the FDA. It is best to maintain a low profile and play nice.

RE: Bad news I'm afraid
I have been out of touch with everything for an extended holiday weekend, and just found out, what terrible news to come home to. I first met Johnny at Lake Wales about six or seven years ago, it was my first jet event. Right away you could tell that he was bigger than life, and like Ian mentioned, the black Excursion with the freight train horn passing by with Johhnny's big smile was certainly something to remember. Johnny was always friendly and helpful, one of the nice guys that you always wanted to be around. I will always remember the in person and online antics that he and Bryce did to keep us all laughing. At every event Johnny would make us feel welcome in his pit area and show us his latest acquisition. I also remember what a proud papa he was, he sure loved his little family. We are all devistated by this news of his untimely passing. Our prayers are with his family, rest in peace Johnny. Bill & Kay Adkins
