From Afghanistan to Zenith's Rudder Build Weekend
Posted on March 30, 2011 at 12:30pm 9 Comments 3 Likes
Although I am still in Afghanistan, I ordered my rudder kit and reserved my rudder workshop space for the June session. A few months ago I order the rudder DVD from HomeBuiltHelp.com and have watched it numerous times at my base when I was off duty.

David, How's the plane comming? My offer still stands for a flight when the weather gets better. Also if you want to come out and see my Zodiac let me know. I have most of the B upgrade done and percent complete is actually going in the positive direction again.

I'm sure he would think that was cool. When you get home let me know maybe we could link up. We can talk project.
Be safe
I first joined the Ohio NG and then I went on active duty in 1981 with the 82nd ABN 321FA for 6 ½ years. I wonder if we eve cross paths. My son is an Officer in the 101st. He has done on tour in Iraq (15 month). He is currently in Afghanistan as a Battalion S-4 for HHC 1st Brigade.
Have a save trip home.
Thank you for your service, I'm a desert storm vet and my son is now serving in afghanistan with the 101st ABN.
Be safe, I see a 82nd ABN patch. I spent 6 1/2 years in the 82nd ABN.
