H@kk's going on tour!!! Well, sort of!

[Carlitto H@kk]

Folks, since I consider a lot of you
friends and family, I' like to share some AWESOME news
I got today! I have been hired as the new Viper WEST F-16
Demonstration Team Maintence Lead!

In english that means I will be heading up a team that travels
around the country 8 months out of the year to countless airshows,
performing aerial demonstrations of the F-16! I won't be flying
but I will be narrorating AND getting increddible opportunities
to mingle with the public, set-up various community service/charity
projects and just plain HAVE FUN!

In a month or so, I should know what dates and where I will be.
WHY tell all of you???

Hell, maybe I will be at an airport near YOU!
I LOVE meeting MR folks and what a better way;
you get an awesome experience (and I'll get you up
close and personal with our jets) AND I get to meet
some of you wonderful people face to face

BTW, one of my OTHER duties will be putting together
the MUSIC for each performance...
Hmmmm... I KNOW I can work some
"Satnd Up and Shout" in there and I already have a
few Journey selections in mind to splice in here and there

If you're curious, here's a link to the team's website!

Um....

Any chance that you could fly to the right-hand side of the US...like, New England?

Excellent! Sounds like a blast!

[Ratgirl]

Awesome news, Congratulations!

Let me know if you hit the Tampa, FL area!

[Jeremey]

Dude, I LOVE LOVE LOVE airshows, and used to go to them all the time growing up in Florida, but for some reason you could throw a rock and hit an airshow in FL. Nowadays in VA there don't seem to be too many here amongst all these mountains.

On the other hand, I'm on the road 4-5 days a week now, so when I find out your schedule I will DEFINITELY see if our paths are gonna cross at all!

[Peartree12249]

What an awesome opportunity Carlitto. Congratulations! Any chance you'll be at airshows in the Great Lakes area?

[squirt1]

Carl- Sincere congrats ! You are what is soooo right with this country!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so glad you are in this country after your tours. If you do the Dayton air show let me know.

[Carlitto H@kk]

Glad so many of you seem interested in meeting The H@kk
Who could honesstly pass THAT up, right??? J/K

Anyhow, here's how it will play out. I will officially join the
Team in November, which is the end of the season. It sounds like
I will be going with the current team-leader for a show in
Pensacola, Fl in early Novemebr; all part of the training/initiation
process. Then I'll spend december - feb learning the gig, training the other
new dudes on the routines and just having fun. Starting in March is when
I will be hitting the road for sure. And YES, our team travels ALL OVER
the Country and even to Hawaii and S. America.

By Feb I should have the exact Cities/Dates of which shows I will be
over-seeing. I will be sure to let you know and, now that some of you have
thrown cities out there, I will watch for those specifically
