Thanks for that sentiment, and I would like to add that I am proud to be associated with everyone in this group. There are a lot of folks out there who dedicate time and talent to make aviation the great experience that it is.
Oshkosh is fantastic, and receiving the award here last night will be a cherished memory.
Off to see the White Knight 2!
