It says 7-10 MPH, which is even slower than Kts. I agree it looks faster than than that. I was about to give you hell about it being an Avian because of the bird on the side, but then saw it's a Thunder.
I'm a curious guy, I wonder if the black bal…

My name is Ben and I currently reside in Northeast Ohio. I am an Art teacher at Marlington Local Schools in Alliance, OH where I teach art and digital photography. I am a fairly new pilot and received my Private license in September 07. I try to fly as often as I can in between work and other activities. I hope to be commercial in the next two years and would like to get into homebuilding someday down the road.

Ben, congrats on passing the written, that's the hard part as far as I'm concerned. About Canton, just a week or two ago I got hooked with with Greg Miller and Mark MacSkimming to fly with them for next year. They're both pretty experienced pilots and Greg has done the teams event before so they'll be carrying my rookie butt. Sorry man, I hope you can get a third together and get in too, should be fun to compete at that level! They need to do a rookie award this year!

Hey Ben, yeah I was wondering if I'd run into you up there or not. Congrats on getting married! HOF was an awesome time. I'd definitely like to fly in it, not sure what you have to do to get an invitation though. I learned a ton from the team I was crewing on this year and it got me really excited about flying competition. I need to fly in some smaller events probably before stepping up to that level to have a chance at doing well. Planning on going in some way or another next year anyway I hope.
Hey Ben. Nice job in Coshocton. And congrats on the whole marriage thing. I didn't even know until someone mentioned it....gee thanks!! HAHA!! Anyway, I wish you and your wife to be all the best and you will have to bring her out sometime for all to meet. See you soon!
