...Or, maybe Rich can pick me up in his plane. Don

Don, when I was flying, the aircraft I flew was not mine. I flew it for the owner. I was just the airborne bus driver.

I made my last flight on April 28, 2019 and am no longer flying. All done with that. So you’ll have to go the commercial route. Sorry.  😉

This is turning out to be quite the party   We have confirmation from a number of industry leaders that will be attending from Lionel, MTH, Atlas, Metca, and others.  We also have some pretty nice giveaways and raffles.   C'Mon down!!!!!!!!!!!

RSVP in!
