Thank you Ned. I hadn't shot these guys in about 5 years. Found out they lost the military contract. Now new ownership and large contract with the Air Force Reserve Test Center in Tucson, the last one was with WTI. I believe they will be back and I'll give you way more advance notice.

Thank you John. These guys are always very friendly and a wealth of aviation information. The gentleman who bought this company is quite a guy. His name is Art Nalls from the DC area. He owns an flys 2 British Sea Harriers. He has some You Tube videos flying one at an airshow.
