Oh, the smell of black powder in the morning air!

Hi Don,
It was great to finally meet you. I'm glad you came and flew your very nicely built Sunward Desert Fox at the MSRS Launch on Saturday. It turned out to be an impressive successful maiden flight. It was a good flying day and a really nice time of fellowship. You were extremely kind to me by providing the Estes #2445 Mini Max kit 9.75 inch long version with the Balsa Nose Cone that I was seeking, plus, you overwhelmed me by your kindness in allowing me to purchase your amazingly built Roachwerks 1/12th scale 4x24mm Nike Hercules kit. It was truly an honor to meet you! Thank you for all your kindness!! It is greatly appreciated!
It was also a great joy to see the thrill and excitement of your precious seven year old granddaughter, as she got to push the launch button for several of the flights that day, including yours! I know it must make your heart overflow to have her and your family with you that day. You are a very blessed man.
I was glad and blessed to also meet TigerHawk at the MSRS Launch, too! TigerHawk graciously and kindly provided some great looking BAMA Recovery Systems thin mill parachutes for both Don and me at the MSRS Launch. The BAMA camo chute that TigerHawk provided Don was perfect with his Desert Fox and provided some outstanding results. I'll be using one of those BAMA camo chutes that TigerHawk provided me on my next Patriot Missile and Cruise Missile flights. Thank you, Dan!! Both you and Don are the best, truly amazing gentlemen!!
Kind regards,
Jeff Jenkins
