Re: Horicon Show

I am planning on flying the Cardinal to KUNU airport Sat morning if weather permits.
Hopefully I can get a cab to the show.

Would love to make a pilgrimage to Mecca! And meet some of the famous people from JD sleds

Re: Is Jeff selling his 72 400 ??

Jeff
I have to tell you …….you were more than up to the challenge!!!!

Helmets off to ya!
