Guys, this is not fair!

All this getting together here in Indiana or Michigan and my plane is down for annual. I suppose I could fly the Tomahawk but you'd all laugh.

Knowing this group, I don't know if this is serious or not. But if it is, count me in for a trip to Panama. Heck, I'm flying to Guatamala next month so what's a few more countries south??!!
