RDU - Henning came and went

[HPNFlyGirl]

Thank you Tom (etsisk) for putting togehter a WONDERFUL lunch at Southern Jet.

Lots of people came out to meet Henning. What a GREAT guy and AMAZING stories to tell.

Lessee... who was there?

Mark Shilling and Agatha
Rich Padula (the guy with the picture of a bunny with a pancake on his head)
Henning, of course
Bob Gerace
Dr. Bill (Bobcatsndogs)
Jeff (CowlFlapsOpen)
Tom (MooneyDude)
Skipp (CherokeeFlyBoy)
Brook (HPNFlyGirl)
Eamon
Justin Pinnix
Me

Folks have some pics (MooneyDude? Brook? Y'all step up to the plate, now!

) But we had a great time - looked at planes, talked about planes, ate lots of food, and looked at and talked about planes some more!

All told, it was a great time! Henning, Bob, Dr. Bill and Rich flew in from Atlanta. Mark and Agatha flew in from JNX (a whopping 20 minutes away, but they did leave and fly to the mtns in some seriously bumpy weather!). MooneyDude flew in from the wilds of VA. Me? I drove! Hey, SOMEone needed to go to Target and get the paper cups!!

Thank You Tom for a perfectly executed get together.

It was great to meet up with Y'all.

Thanks for the ride Brook

Had a great time meeting everyone.

Tom, Great job putting all this together we really enjoyed meeting everyone.

The flight West was not bad. A little bumpy at 6K, so asked for and got 8K where it was smooth for the most part, just slow.

Bob, Love your 310. 1st class airplane.

I haven't met Eamon, but very much enjoyed meeting you, and Mark, Agatha, and Tom at Myrtle Beach last year.

Yes, that was a great mini-gather, and a good min-vacation. I'd be interested in doing another CRE gather at some point, maybe a little later in the season so you could actually go to the beach without freezing.

Lake Norman this spring/summer....BE THERE!!!!!

Me too! Only next time I'd arrange to have a little time off work so I could make it a long weekend. That's a nice area up there. I'd never been to MB before that.
