I can't find your e-mail address on your site. If you care to give it to me, contact me at airknocker@sprynet.com. Paul Patterson

Fantastic trip Charlie! Can't wait to hear "the rest of the story". What will you do for an encore?
I thought I'd better leave my comment soon or I'll miss my chance. Great web site! Spectacular trip!
What a wonderful journey! I've enjoyed following your adventures daily.
Hi Charlie, Looking forward to seeing you next Thursday for "Old Farts" breakfast! What a great story, can't wait for the book!
Charlie, this is my third attempt to get into your guestbook. Maybe third time lucky ? I have a question for you. Who is the oldest BE or CT ? Looking forward to your return and the many stories you must have after such an advevture
"How will they ever keep 'em down on the farm after they have seen Pari-ee?"
Charlie, I am so enjoying your adventure! What a read. You are such an inspiration to anyone who has ever had the priviledge of knowing you. Tailwinds!
This is so much fun Charlie. We are really enjoying your adventure. Saturday looks good here, we are having a Young Eagles event here at 9am York if you want to buz us! Looking forward to seeing you soon.
Hi neighbor. Glad to hear all is going well. Looking forward to your return and hearing all about your journey. Good luck the rest of the way.
Hi Charlie, just to thank you for taking time while in Vegas to contact Jack and spend time with him and me. We enjoyed having lunch and then having you over in the evening. I love seeing his face light up when he gets to talk Navy - he is usually surrounded by ladies who talk quilting! Your capture of the day was touching and I want to print it off for Jack to read. Sounds like you are having a successful and fulfilling trip. Later, Darlene
WOW! We love it. Looking forward for your return. We'll keep the dust off your car in the hangar at Bermudian.
Charlie, I knew it was not "BS and bananas". Your storytelling of the adventures you have had on this trip made dinner 'fly' by. Good luck on your return to Gettysburg.
Charlie, A great adventure! I see you passed a few miles north of where my dad lives in Tulsa, OK. I also saw mentioned in the guestbook the name of my hometown of Danville, IL Good Luck!
