Re: Gaston memorial fun fly

Brendan I wish I could make the trip but I am scheduled for the Flying Tigers that weekend.
But I'm going to going to be flying for Gaston down here. I have to win at least one round for him and show him I can maneuver this new plane. Give his lovely wife and daughter a hug for me and let them know I'm thinking of them and tell them I miss Gaston.

Dave

Will do Dave. I will even give Maggie a hug for you (no face licking allowed).

Fly level and smooth.

Oh yes please do, how could I forget about Maggie. Don't let her know I forgot about her, she'd never let me live it down.

Re: Gaston memorial fun fly

And a few more.

By the way, GSM club supplied ans took care of all the food and drinks and just asked for donations for heart and stroke. The 50/50 draw as won by Anne Marie (and no it wasn't rigged, I pulled the ticket myself). She quickly made sure her winnings were put back into the donations collection. All proceeds for the day are going to support of the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

Please support this fund whenever you can. Too many of our friends and loved ones are affected these days.

Re: Gaston memorial fun fly

Sorry I couldn't make it as I was scheduled for another event yesterday. I'm very happy to see you all had such a beautiful day for this special event. I love the final picture posted as that's the way Gaston always was, smiling from ear to ear.
As for me flying for Gaston yesterday, I think I was flying just like Gaston yesterday, cursing my rudder corrections in the damn crosswind!

Re: Gaston memorial fun fly

Thanks for the video Keith it was a treat to see some fruits of Gaston's hard work at the field. And I'm sure that was my good buddy Steve doing some fine flying in that video too.
Great job on the video.

Dave
