So, I go out to fly in the Veteren's Day Parade - and I come back to see my face plastered all over the thread! I'm really much taller and better looking! ;-) 
 
Yes, I was drinking! 
Yes, I was done flying (that day!) 
Yes, Hattend and his bunch were amazingly kind to little Biplane Racer Girl. 
Yes, I'm blushing. 
 
Thanks, gang! 
 
 
PS... I told you I wasn't lying! 
 
BIG Hug to Hattend and Mrs. Hattend!
We can't see your face Dasher...were you being covert? LOL.
Just remember the safety rules of flying: 
 
1. No smoking 24 hours before flight. 
2. No Drinking 50 feet from the plane.
