Thank You Kevin MacKenzie
On behalf of all of us, I would like to say Thank You to Kevin Mackenzie for all the work he has done over the last 5 years. We started out as a bunch of folks who frequented a message board, we had a fly-in in Abacos, Bahamas. That spawned more fly-ins, more get togethers. Along the way, we became an organization, then an official organization, with, of all things, officers, and a board of directors.
I have met some of the nicest folks in the world, through this message board. None of it would have happened if Kevin hadn't stepped up, and set up this message board. It has helped a lot of folks over the years. I will, with Ernie's help, strive to keep it that way. Thank You. Larry |

Thanks Kevin, Larry, Ernie, Paul & Mary
Kevin, you're the Best for your talents, efforts, and patience over the years. God knows you've put up with your share of hassles from me! Many thanks for everything!
Ernie and Larry, thanks for stepping up on the site. It is a great resource for those new to the game as well as those long in tooth. Larry, Happy 59 + 1 birthday. Wishing you many, many more birthdays and fly-ins. I look forward to working with you, Ernie, Paul, and Mary. Paul & Mary: Thanks for all your efforts with the fly-ins, organization, and everything else. It wouldn't have gotten this far without you. Although there are many of us who participate when we can, y'all are consistently carrying the torch. Thanks! Keven ________ Handjob Vid Last edited by Keven : 04-23-11 at 05:21 PM. |

Thank you, Kevin M.
Kevin M.,
Your starting the web site was the initiation of what is today SOAPA, Inc., a Florida non-profit corporation, whose main function is to stage a Fly-In every year, and allow like-minded people to meet, have fun, and exchange experiences. Mary and I have met nothing but great people through the web site and organization, and have you to thank for that. We'll always remember the good times with you and Liza in the Key West 2005 SOAPA Fly-In (remember the Schooner Appledore?). Best of luck with this new chapter in your life, and hopefully we'll meet again, in the not too distant future. Thanks for everything! Paul & Mary N462DA Keven K., thanks for your kind words of encouragement - we're looking forward to seeing you and Allie Cat in Lucaya next spring, along with the rest of our elite group of flypeople! Paul & Mary

Big Thank you
Kevin,
Although we have never met, I have been using your web-site since it was started. I used the site from the UK until it got so nasty, as you remember. I think, that is why you started this site and have been able to control and keep it clean of non-sense that had nothing to do with 337's. I thank you for the site and the control and great things that I have found useful on this site. Keep up the good work. Dale Campbell |

Thanks Ernie and Larrry for stepping up to take part in this family. It is a difficult thing to let go but a relief when trusted members embrace.

You are all quite welcome. I have two regrets.
First, that I won't see y'all nearly as much, nor enjoy your messages as I have. Second, I will miss all those flying moments: the wheels just leaving the ground after an early morning fall takeoff, the thrill of making landfall on Grand Cayman, the satisfaction of really learning to land my wonderful P337 well, I could go on and on. I know you guys will take good care of the site, and the association. Blue skies to you all. Kevin Last edited by kevin : 10-17-06 at 03:25 PM. |

Kevin, sorry to hear you are moving on, but I wish to add my heart felt thanks for all your efforts on behalf of the 337 owners.
The board you have handed over is great, the group that participates on it is great as well. You have done all the 337 owners a great service with your efforts. I look forward to meeting up with you again in the future. Warm regards - Dave |

It was a great time......
Kevin:
I had a great time being part of the Skymaster Group. You guys are a great group and it was a blast being part of the fun for 4 years. I have moved onto a different airplane, but will always remember the help and assistance that was always offered by the group. If any of you get up to the DC area, there always is cold beer in the hanger and an open spot on the ramp.. Formerly; Skymasterick and for now BaronRick |

Thanks to all of you for the nice words.
If you are ever in the Portland area, please let me know. I still love to talk about flying and skymasters, even if I am only a hangar flier nowdays... Kevin |
