Does anyone know what's up with the cookout this year. I think Andy Millin is now flying and therefore won't be running it. Is there going to be a cookout this year? I'm flying in with the wife and two kids, so I can't bring anything, butI would be happy to donate a contribution.
If we are having it, I think it would be a great idea to reprise Andy's Velocity Home Movie. We have some new Velocities flying, and it would be great to put together a video so we could all share in the new successes. Also, the availability of small, inexpensive HD cameras has meant that there are a lot more quality videos of everyone's flying adventures out there. I have some to contribute and I would love to see videos of other people's Velocity trips.
Is there anyone out there who is tech savvy enough to edit together a new video? If so, we could all forward content to put together a new video and then play it after the dinner.
What does everyone think?
Mark
