WOW Jim, bet that was neat.
I got to hang out with them and shoot them for three days over at Kingsley quite a few years ago and then we did Red Flag after that, great group of Men & Women.

Bet you and Chandler had fun and quite a privilege.

Chandler and I just got back from dinner with The Thunderbirds, what a quality group of people we have representing this wonderful country!
AMEN brother!!!!!
The abbreviated "Air Expo" that we all thought would likely be the last gasp of The Alliance Air Show turned out to be anything but. Attendance was through the roof, everything, tours etc, all sold out. Truthfully, I was pretty glad to be heading home yesterday afternoon rather than facing another day. I do all that I can not to "let the old man in" , but these events are getting tougher and the recovery period is longer. Hitting the pillow at midnight or one, then being back on the field to lead a hundred people for a dawn tour makes of some long days.
Heading home last night Sheila reminded me that I had volunteered for a charitable fundraising event at 8:30 this morning, so I'm backing up files and getting ready to head out to shoot a "Teddy Bear Ride" for The Children's Advocacy Center. The weather is supposed to get crummy for the next couple of days and I am looking forward to it.
Hang in there Mr Jim-
You're doing good making everyone happy and hopefully you as well and your family, I'm sure they all look up to you as we all do here.
Make sure those teddy bears have their seat belts on, .
Been raining here now and supposed to all week, I knew I shoulda winterized the boat and wrapped it all up last weekend.
Thank you Bill, that means a great deal to me. No Teddy Bears were harmed in the process today🤣The event was a big success , I’d guess that 300 motorcycles were involved, great folks and a cause very near my heart.
