Will, How about some info about this pic? I take it from the Smiley face that the comment is tongue in cheek, but it sure is interesting.

Hi Rick,
Here is the message that came with the picture.
"Thanks for letting borrow your plane! Got a little lost, but these nice people found me
Sorry, but I think they got your tail number showed up later at your hanger, but I told them you fled! Not sure they believe me, as there is a large black SUV with short antennas parked nearby with a couple of G-man types watching for your return.
Regards,
Dave"

Will, Ain't it great to have friends? Well, Blackwater is going to need something to do, now. Have you considered getting a piss poor black beard and one of those AK-47 pellet guns? That'll make you extra popular.
For the carnivore guys. It's a joke, a joke, honest. You know, makes you smile, maybe even chuckle.

And now the rest of the story;
My FireStar was part of a multi-agency homeland security exercise over the missile firing range in New Mexico. For the week long exercise, Dave flew it for about 25 hours, 4 of them at night. All I can say about that is the FireStar performed without any problems. Dave flew all his required mission and all IP runs were made on time. Some days were flying thru some of the worst turbulence or around thunderstorms. The only thing I have to mend is a tare on the gap seal, the Velcro glue was old and got loose during one of the flights.

Kudos though since you lasted the week without getting shot down.
Nobody got "shot down" Not the purpose
There must be some sort of Plaque or Trophy for that feat right?
Paycheck $$$$
Guess those Coast Guard boys don't aim very well.
That would be a fatal guess

That reminds of the time I was trying to sneak a short cut from FHU to YUM. The restricted area is right to the border. I figured hey I will fly inside Mexico with 1 inch of my right wing in Arizona. Well a Cessna Citation with Mexican marking and a long nose with F-16 radar in it pulled right next to me. I looked over and waved and they pulled away. I turned around and flew back to Gilla Bend VOR and took the long way to Yuma. I don't know why they don't give us at least a 1 mile corridor from the border, so we can shave about 20 minutes on flights going to San Diego or Yuma...

They want to make sure you do not spot the Mexican citizens the Mexican government is helping to cross the border... Mexicans working in this country and sending money back home is Mexico's second largest source of income after oil exports. You could also spot some shipments of drugs coming across the border, which would also be bad for the Mexican economy.
