Country: | Those comments are from the website, not mine. They are kind of humorous though.
I will look for Doug and introduce myself if I see him, Joe.

Country: | I saw some preview pictures from some of my fellow photographers from the last 2 days of practice, and I am drooling already! Looks like it will be a perfect day for the show! I will be heading out at 4:00 AM for the drive up and probably get home about 8 tomorrow night. So look for the first pics early next week. Maybe Sunday, we shall see. Joe, I will go looking for your father in law, Doug and Stambo fairly early. If I don't catch them in the morning, I will try and catch up with them around noon.
YEEE HAW! Edwards, baby!

Country: | I'll do my best. Shooting statics at Edwards takes some patience sometimes because of the amount of people around the planes. Skies are clear with (unfortunately) Santa Ana winds. The winds are supposed to die down in the late morning. Current weather at home 64F, clear skies.
Edwards weather:
Current Temp: 41°
Barometer: 30.26 in and steady
Humidity: 25%
Visibility: 10 mi
Dewpoint: 7°
Wind: ESE 3 mph
