Ken has 20 grand kids plus their parents. If he lives through this, he is going to tell all of them his version of this great event. He will be handing out copies of this version of what happened here, to selected real stand up pilots and other witnesses, that won't charge too much to corroborate everything he says... This could include stories of either his great skill, and the honorable judges and others that fully recognized this talent. OR equally convincing stories about his great skill as a pilot but how the weather, the machine breakdowns, sabotage, personal illness, and even stories about the crooked bunch of pirates that were here that in other ways cost him glory, fame and fortune. |

I'm just getting started toward the dream of flight. I own a 1998 Buckeye DM which was just N-numbered. I have only logged 2 hours of dual time with my instructor. My 8 year old daughter, Evelyn and I attended the event last year and loved the family atmosphere and camaraderie. We will be
spectating, attending the dinner and learning more again this year! I'll be retiring from the Air Force after 20 years of service in Jun 2008. We look forward to the event! |
