you are the first one to catch that. i wanted to see what people knew about
it or if someone would say, no u dont, i have it in my garage! i guess it
didnt work. i wanted to see if anyone was paying attention. i saved a purple
key chain as a prize. Thought Keith was going to win. oh well, maybe next
time. and keith by the way, i have a brother who is a rotorwingman and fixed
wing man with the CHP in sacto. its funny to go out to dinner with him. He
keeps both hands and feet moving at all times. i wonder,do u guys do that in
your sleep or does it wear off after u havnt flown for awhile?
