See you folks at KRFD, http://www.courtesyaircraft.com/ tomorrow. I'll have my Fight Info T-Shirt on (probably a jacket, too!!)

 

[UndauntedFlyer]

I'll be lookig for you sky37d. But I didn't get my tee shirt that I ordered yet. I'll be flying my red Decathlon and looking for you. 9AM looks good. Wx is good too.

Geeze, must be nice to have a red Decathalon cruise around in. One day........

Wish I could go.

well, UndauntedFlyer and I met at RFD. His plane is very nice.

It was a zoo, though. Inbound, I had filed IFR, and they were actually talking to me. For everyone else, the ATIS said don't get closer than 15 miles without clearance. One guy said, 'I've been holding here for a while, what number am I', and the controller said, "You're number 30". Oh, and inbound they asked me what my speed was, and I was indicating 180. They asked if I could slow to 100. Ugh, not easily.

I was number 8 to get clearance to taxi out, then joined the congo line with aircraft coming from 2 different directions to get to the runway. It was kinda cool to see a Dauphin (L-29) squeeze by another plane, so he could get to the active. Interestingly enough, I was behind another 337 when I finally got to the runway.

Once we got out of the area, it was a smooth trip.

Okay, where's the next fly-in that folks are going to??

Oh, and UndauntedFlyer had his other son with him. Very nice folks.

Is there anything on the back of those FI shirts?

cotton

Oh, wait, that was too short a response. The correct answer is that the T-Shirt is made of Cotton, a natural fiber. The front of the T-Shirt has the Flight Info logo. The back is just the plain, unadorned, cotton T-shirt, in the color you chose. Personally, I chose the Tea Green, it's a nice color.

Thanks Tea, the "natural fiber" part gave me a good laugh. I wish that they would come out with a golf shirt version. I would be much more interested in buying that.
