I’m not a big fan of lengthy good-byes so I’ll keep it brief.
Big thanks to Carlos for being a good friend and providing a nice and convenient home for my HG. I’m sorry I didn’t get to say good-bye but my last few days were extremely busy and swamped with last minute chores. I’ll be in touch.
Big thanks also to John Dullahan and Mark Cavanaugh for being good friends and sending me off in the nicest way. I will miss you two dearly and hope we will get to fly together soon.
A heart-felt thank-you to the Highland Aerosports crew, particularly Sunny, Adam, Jim and Zac. You guys took me under your wings, kept me from becoming a sure fatality and showed me the light. Your committment to XC and comp flying, your expertise, patience and support are outstanding. I already miss you very much and will try to make the ECC next year (god help us all).
Speaking of serious HGing, I learned so much from TomMcGowan, Larry Bunner, Cavanaugh and Pete Lehman. My long flights would not have been possible without all your great advice. You guys are the best, you’ve been inspirational pilots from day 1 and I so appreciate that you never got tired of sharing your knowledge.
I owe a lot to my good friends Brian Vant-Hull and Steve Kinsley, too. You two were great observers, teachers and a lot of fun to be around.
Big thanks to everyone who’s been in it for more than just personal airtime. Richard Hays, John Middleton, Shawn Ray, Matthew & Karen, past and current BODs and and and. I would not have been able to fly so many great sites if it hadn’t been for your and a few others’ hard work.
Last, Dan Tuck, nice wing. But gee, what were you taking when you picked those colours
?It’s been an honour and pleasure getting to know and flying with so many of you. Be safe, be well.
Janni
