Okay, I've had enough - enough - of this. We need an air force, people. We sit here hoping, like kids at Christmas, that something we want will come along to elevate our sine qua non winged machines to their proper status. Until we show ourselves, however, nobody will give a damn about our most able aircraft, and nobody buying a pile of god-knows-what on Ebay is going to be motivated to complete their projects. Oh sure, we can know amongst ourselves our little secret about these airplanes and feel sly and wise. A great load of good that will do us while GA runs for boring cover.
It's time for an air tour, boys. Mike - I know you're lurking - and Larry - I know you're "retired" - and Randy - I know you'll do most anything worth doing - and Lynn - you've been worrying me lately - all of you: all of you, let's do something.
During the doldrums of this winter, let's put together a wing. Let's choose our venues. Everybody knows the "I want to sell my oddball airplane" drill: you make the tour, and place the ad. Let's sell our airplanes but keep them. Let's sell them by wanting people to want us to sell them. And we'll turn them down, each in our own way.
We know where our raids should strike. Let's choose a precious few that will make a difference. Yeah, we'll do others, but we need The Triple Tail Wing at the majors. Not one or two, but ten.
I'm in. I'll even endure Poberville or that crap fly-in that has the silly name in the south. Hey, Russell is doing my hydraulics...I'd better do SOMETHING to pay him respect.
Who's in?
