Congratulations on a great run. You must be the guy buying now at the Top of the Mark ... please don't use up all the great views.

Thanks Mike. Great pleasure to be at this event. Many thanks to everyone that set up this race.
Gave me a chance to fly a modern GA for a change. And in an area that I usually do not fly low in.
Drinks on me.

Excellent Run... as it stands, you da' man in the Silver.

I highly recommend flying as many types as 'feasible' (based on time/money/interest)... a Martha Stewart 'it's a good thing'.

I'll have milk... in a dirty glass...

Thanks Rob.
Surprised to be leading the Silver. Usually Iam somewhere in the middle.
Modern GA aircraft is something that I am short of.
This run was a toss between the default Mooney and Baron.
Now I understand what a RW pilot, many years ago, was trying to tell me. Why fly a twin if a single can do the job.
Like to fly the high course, but time is running short. We will see what happens.
