I thought it was a bit over the top to call the FAA!
To: Bartholomew Roberts
More of a rent-a-cop’s response ... I cant figure out anything to arrest or ticket you for so I’m going to see if there is someone else who can teach you a lesson.

A skydive to school would have been more impressive.
To: PilotDave
Interesting family, if you have the bucks you can spend them how you want.

Principle David E. Cunningham sounds like someone with good common sense and a sense of humor. Or not.
How frustrating it must be for him that the FAA says nothing was illegal about this flight.

Good grief, one can only imagine what the kid will want/expect for senior prom/graduation.

I was thinking the same thing. Seniors do not like to be upstaged by lowly Freshmen.

You know I haven’t been able to post pictures since I fell out of the back of my pickup yesterday...
To: glock rocks; tubebender
Guess mine were mistreated, I made them walk.

OH YEAH? Well I picked my Grand Kids up a F250 6,500 gvw with 12X16.5s and a CB radio! And a gun rack and an NRA sticker? No Obama bumber sticker though, I assume.
To: Cementjungle; SouthTexas; glock rocks
It did have a gun rack, a NRA sticker, dual exhaust and the fuel tank was behind the seat with 2 saddle tanks. It was a 76 and the first year for lap belts which I hated and used a razor blade to remove it them.
Did I tell you it had a CB radio...
To: tubebender
Good job T. Bender! you have lost another great tag line to the crazies...
To: tubebender
No Stars and Bars sticker?
To: SouthTexas
Don’t need one with a gun rack in the back even if it’s empty because the smart one know I must be packing something and the dumb one soon find out...
To: tubebender
It’s still a fairly good warning system. ;)
To: SouthTexas
Dale Sr sticker does the same thing even if I wasn’t a fan. How much rain are you getting?

We got about 14 drops today!
That’s after someone tried to burn down half the county this morning. Got pretty smoky for a while.
To: SouthTexas
Didn’t you have fires last year also? I gotta run but I’ll check back later. Toodle Doo

Every year. The ones that really affect us are the burns down on the Yucatan.
