I'll be there hopefully on the Thursday with my FEJ F-16.
And to be totally blunt I will be nervous as ****. This is my first time flying a turbine aircraft. Not to mention also having the "new guy" pressure, will be interesting. And exciting. =) Glenn |

Don't sweat it, there are lots of people there to give you moral and physical help. If you want to 'be alone' in the air on your first flights, just ask me/us.
Looking forward to meeting you. Bart |

Thanks Bart!
That's very much appreciated. And I may just take you up on that. :) Glenn |
Re: Princeton Spring Warm Up Jet Rally June 3-6, 2010
Glenn,
We will likely make a trip there earlier in May and you are welcome to join the club and do your maiden then. Based on some of the projects I've seen, there's gonna be a whole bunch of maidens going on this spring. PaulD |
Re: Princeton Spring Warm Up Jet Rally June 3-6, 2010
Glenn , You picked a great group of guys to fly with . There is lot of great advise and help as well. I had a retract problem last year that I could not figure out for hours. A lot of redoing and triple checking. And still couldn't figure it out. Paul came over and found the problem in five minutes. I won't go into details to save me the embarressment.
