Forum Members You Have Met!

Went to the Melbourne Model Expo today and met

the infamous Wayne Little!!

Fantastic guy, had a great chat about models and things.



Had a look at some of his models he entered in the competition, in my opinion he has all sewn up

He does amazing work models wise,

Just curious who else has met other forum memebers?

Cheers

The only member I have met is plan_D.

He flew down from England with his girlfriend and stayed with us and went to Rock im Park 2006 with us.

Both him and his girlfriend are great and very nice. They are always welcome in our home.

I would love to meet anyone from this forum (yeah I said it, anyone...).

Hmm, let's see, like syscom mentioned, I met him at Chino a year or 2 back. I also knew A6M3 (Eric) before he joined here, but he's not on much these days. I know one_hellcat from the CAF in Camarillo. Flyboyj and I had a short flight in a Cessna 150 a couple of years ago, and he swung by one afternoon when he was out here working on some planes.

So far that's it, but anyone is welcome to come and hang out with me at any of the airports or shows. I will flying at Camarillo again on Thursday for another air-to-air shoot and then off to Santa Paula on Sunday for a day of airplanes and shooting.
