On Our Way!

Hi everyone. Christy and I made it to Montgomery after Christy skillfully navigated around several "cells" of bad weather. We had a long day onWednesday, packing, preparing, flight planning and most fun of all, putting our race numbers and decals on our race plane. It looks beautiful! Thank you, Mike Potapow, for showing us a better technique otherwise we would probably still be at Keystone Airport putting these on.

A big thanks to Capt. Bob for the endless hours he devoted to our team and helping us prepare for this adventure. We could not have done this without you. Another big thanks to Lisa for burning the midnight oil in getting these decals designed and sent off to Signs N Motion (thanks to you Carl).

And another big thanks to John for working with Lisa on this blog. Many more to thank but I will do that this evening since it is 6 am and time to eat breakfast and race to the airport for a long day of flying (8+ hours to Denver).

As Christy said yesterday, "It takes a village..." and it certainly took a lot of people to make this happen, particularly our generous sponsors, both cash donors and in-kind donors. But Bee Haydu and other WASP friends make this effort a labor of love. We look forward to Bee's arrival in Denver on the 21st.

More later... love to you all!!!!
