Wow! You go, Scott!
Actually, I really like the idea of calling ourselves the 42nd Tactical
Fighter Wing! Or something like that-waaay cool!
And I really like the idea of "hijacking" other Spit drivers-and I go to a
lot of car shows-so I'll be glad to be our rep at those.
THis is just soooo exciting! I've been jealous of the Italian Spitfire club
and the French and all those!
I even have my Spitfire wings!
