Thanks Dave, it was totally my pleasure. He really loved it.
I guess once a teacher, always a teacher.

On an entirely self-centered note,

I did get a couple flights on this old girl

I can't entirely remember the skinny guy with hair however

I've never had the pleasure of meeting Keith Shaw but my hat is off to him for his contributions to aeromodeling. His impact is all around us.

Dave, the link isn't working. I think you were referring to the Hurricane, which was really fun to watch again.

I found the link:

Mid America 1993 (1 min 5 sec)

Is that Saline?

Thanks Ken,

Yes, Saline it is.
There's a clip of you that I have. I'll try to post.
I think you were in your mid 40's
