'Twas the night before Christmas, and out on the ramp, Not an airplane was stirring, not even a Champ. The aircraft were fastened to tiedowns with care, In hopes that come morning, they all would be there.

Brian, I do wish you'd stop sniping and belittling members and actually try to benefit by listening once in a while. From another post re the HQ issue. "that it would not be in the interests of the members of either association to merge until the matter is resolved." Legal people give legal advice n...
