Dyess! My favorite hang out in Abilene.

Interesting news out of the aviation industry today, at least tangentially involving your company. Sounds like you guys got a pretty sweet deal on those CSeries jets. I thought this was an interesting quote from something I read:

Quebec Finance Minister Carlos Leitao, whose government invested US$1 billion for a 49.5 per cent stake in the CSeries program last year, said he was confident that Bombardier would beat Boeing.

Grew up in Dickens, those guys would always do their low level training in our area because of all the canyons.

One time we had one go over our house, full burn, maybe a good 300 feet above us if that (I could see the oil stains on the paint). I was about 8 years old, laying on my back in the pool as that thing went overhead at full steam. I could hear it coming even with my ears under water.

Yeah. We have an opinion about the preliminary finding. I think it will be fine in the end as Boeing has no competing product.

That would have been awesome.

Yup, still remember it almost 30 years later.

I just looked up Dickens on the map. Man, that’s out there.

Yup, they used to go to Reese AFB and back to Dyess, but they hit up the area by Lubbock International Airport now.

Was fun being up in the canyons and seeing the tail section go by at eye level when it flies through the valley kinda like the Mach Loop.

The Mach Loop is on my bucket list.
