I'll be watching.... :tuttut:

My name is Joe, and I'm 26. I grew up in Davenport, Iowa, but moved to Centennial, Colorado (suburb of Denver) in '96. I currently build planes at Adam Aircraft, which is based out of Centennial Airport (KAPA). Geez... I can't believe we didn't cross paths at least once between '96 and '04. I moved...

May be at MSO, but their flight department is based (and MX is based) at Fort Collins and Boulder (Boulder for the smaller aircraft, Fort Collins for the rest).

Well, I guess I'll be the first native Yank to drop his info down.... Name's Chris, born in '82 in the Big City (no, not New York...) of Dallas in the great (big!) state of Texas.
