I just now got off the Phone with Bob. We talked about Flying. I mean, what else would We Talk about but flying? We talked about the very real Possibility that this Year 2025, that I finally get Myself down South so that We will Finally be able to Meet. I really look Forward to seeing John gain. Yes, I believe that This May will be the May when I finally will be able to attend the Dockweiler Meet.

OK, this is about it. I hope that everyone is getting in Plenty of Airtime.

Boy I tell Everyone that I am so; looking forward towards the end of May. For I am now putting My Ducks in a Row towards My Neing able to Once again to even though My Flights most likely will be measured in Time by Minutes, or even seconds in time, I will most likely will only be able to achieve a Flight that will not get to be to be say only say a Dozen or Two Dozen Feet High.

But I know that even though My First Flight in Fifteen Years, the first Flight that I have made in over 15 Years, will not only be My Greatest Flight ever since I began Flying down in New Zealand 35 years ago. Not only that. But when I walk, jog Run my way into the Air. If the flight ends with my performing the dreaded: "Whack". Believe, if I whack, I will Whack with a sense of zeal, and Pride! Please take Note; i have always held the idea that whacking My Predator on any kind of a Regular Basis, is Murder on the Gliders leading Edge. {WHACKING|. Whacking as is said in the Bible is a Sin. In the Lost book, that Book is: The Book of Predator} in the Bible: In the Book of Predator}, t is written: {Though Shall Not Whack}

You all must know that My Flying again was not even talked about at all by those Doctors who worked on bring My Body back from the Edge of death.

Anyways, the way I see it. I did not Die. I have always held with the adage: (Fly till You Die), Here I am very much alive.

In an effort to get alone. I thought I would Post My Thoughts regarding Flight, and what types of Aircraft that I have Flown and most likely will not ever Fly, because of things such as reasonable possibility being in the position of having the opportunity of being able to Fly a Particular Aircraft. Or not ever having a reasonable opportunity a Particular Aircraft such as an F-104 Star Fighter.

so here on the Phoenix Follies, I feel that I am free to talk about pretty much anything Flying.

To-date, I have some Airtime in a few other Types of Aircraft other than My Predator. I have some time Flying a Grobe Sailplane, also I have some Time Flying a Citabria. I enjoyed Flying both of these.

Given the opportunity I most likely would Fly just about any type of Aircraft, with the exception of Paragliders. I will never posses the raw courage that is required in order for a Person to Fly a Paraglider. But if I am ever offered the opportunity to Fly a F-104, Count Me in!

Please take note: I will never put up a Post where I will Talk about Flying a Paraglider. No, it is not because of say My not being able to Physically able to Launch, Fly, and land a Paraglider Flight. No, I do not possess those Mental Qualities that anyone who Flys Paragliders Must Poses. I am way too Short on having the Raw-Nerves, Raw Guts, and Raw Courage that One Must poses in order to fly a Paraglider. No i know that I do not have Nore will I ever be brave enough to Fly Paragliders.

Ok here I am Posting again I am just waiting for Bob to Ban Me for posting such Trivial Posts that are obviously born from a TBI damaged Brain. But the way I see it is that I damaged My Brain Fifteen Years ago. And I Cite the saying: "Time cures all ills. But in the case of when I damaged My Brain, I came to learn that Once You have Damaged Your Brain there are some in the Health Industry who say that: Once You have Damaged Your Brain, you are Forever a Person with a Damaged Brain. I am of the school that regarding My Brain Injury. Heck, I did whack My Head so hard 15 Years ago. But being that I think that saying, in My case rings True. "Time Heals all Ills"

Who knows? Maybe, just Maybe I will make it down to DOCKWEILER this YEAR FOR THE DOCKWEILER MEET< Yea baby! The way i see it, having my first Flight in Fifteen years. Dockweiler might just be the best place to regain my ability to spend time in the Air.

i saw a show on TV that depicted People who experienced astroscopic events in their lives. But The individuals did not Perrish. I remember, but I might be Wrong that the show program's title was: "I SURVIVED". regarding the Shows title being: "I SURVIVED", I could be wrong about the Shows Title. I could be wrong about that. But these individuals all had gone through an potentially Life ending event. But somehow, they survived. Well Fifteen Year ago, I experienced an event, my having pounded My Predator, and thus Myself into the Ground, which should have ended My Life. But it did not end My Life, "I SURVIVED". Anyways, the way I see things. I see it that Yes, I did have a devastating Aireal event, My Pounding Fifteen Years ago. but I refused to adopt My Doctors Prognosis of My impending Death. I owe a debt of gratitude to My dear Sister Kathleen. For with-out Kathleen, I would have fared so much worse. I mean Kathleen Put Her Foot down when a Nurse Spoke of having a Bed for Me at the Local SNIF: A SNIF is a {Skilled Nursing Facility}.

For Me to even be able to think about experiencing my first Flight since My Crash, it has been 15 Years since the Day March Twenty-Eight Two Thousand Ten. But for Me to even think that I might very well will make it happen that I while Wearing My New Kali Helmet. Well for Me, just to think that this year is finally the Year that I make it down to Southern California, where I will make by far My Greatest Flight ever! Yes Bob, I believe that You and I will Finally be able to meet Face, to Face.

OK this is enough of MY petty Banter which was Derived from a TBI Brain. Good By Chris McKeon. 925-497-1059

Bill and Bob:

It is quite Strange for Me to be going through. I mean neither have I ever known someone to be injured to such a Degre as I or have I contemplated that I would need to contemplate recovering from such a Devastating Injury such as which occurred to Me back in March of 2010. But I did indeed Pound. landing: Heck here I will come out and say it: {I BLEW IT}. But that was Fifteen Years ago.

OK, here I am on Saturday Morning, April 26th. There was a Movie that I once saw, that was called: {On any Sunday}. Well, the Movie depicts riders of Motorcycles Riding and racing Their Motorcycles. I say: Why don't we as Free-Flight enthusiasts, why do we not cause the motivation for a Movie called, Oh I don't know what to call the Movie. Why not call My Proposed Movie, Maybe call it: {FREE-FLIGHT} or possibly: {On Any Day} I really think that it could work out to be a quite Marketable Film.

What do You Guys think about My Movie Idea?
