Happy Birthday Rick Mulhern

[Rick Mulhern]

Thanks guys! Yes sir....been a dang good day cuz I'm looking down on the daisies instead of up at the roots! My son told me this morning...."Well Dad....you've got 19 more to go to match the 'Grampster'"....meaning my Dad. Gotten several calls so far from kids and grandkids so yes....it's been a good day! No cake! No gifts! That's the way I want it; just a hug from the kids is all that is warranted! But if I had a cake.....I'd blow the fire out with this:

This is my son Brandon's SNJ-5 and man...does it fly great! Next time he and I go up I'm going to sit in the front, let him do some aerobatics while I film and I'll put here in a short video! It really does fly great and is fast! It's slick...all over! He's eventually going to put it back into USAAF color scheme which is what it was in at date of manufacture in 1944. He recently bought me a J-3 Cub and his crew has been going through it the past ten days doing a little maintenance work it needed. Gives me something to shoot coyotes out of! The backseat and a Benelli auto shotgun with 000 buck works great!

Thanks guys for the HAPPY BIRTHDAY! God bless you and AMERICA as well!!
