4/11/2010: The trip to Westover Air Force Base with the kids and parents went
well, with some REAL flight Simulator flying. Great job Ed Kopec and others! We
must mention that "Charlie" the Gi-Joe size parachute guy bailed out of Eddie's
airplane today. Rene was at the controls and with Charlie's arms waving, buried
himself face first in the sod field. The medics were dispatched (Rene and Mike
K.) bringing back Charlie. He suffered a broken arm, not bad since his chute
didn't open. After a long recovery, (and a new servo), Eddie will have Charlie
jumping again....
