But I'm intrigued, Marys?
I went there flying corporate though. Flew some fat guys over so they could go shoot deer on one of those ranches with the 14' high fences.
No offense to anyone, but really?

The other real down to earth guy was Dale Earnhart. I'd like to think we had something to do with his choice of a Sabre 65, which was a lot better choice than the Hawker, IMO. As far as team owners go, Jack Roush is an airplane nut. Get him talking airplanes and he follows you around 
Seven or eight years ago, when I was a new 757 Capt., I kept a car in DTW. I spent some time as a reserve and went out to Roush Industries in Lavonia one afternoon to get some stickers for one of my vintage race cars that has a Roush Racing engine in it. Jack found out that I was coming and wanted to meet the owner of the old Trans-Am Series Mustang race car that had raced with parts of his rental car on it. Needless to say, when he found out that I was a pilot, he wanted to talk airplanes, and, of course I wanted to talk cars.

Did you get to see Jack's (Mr. Roush to me) collection of RR Merlins?

About the other guy you alluded to, my other vintage race mustang is one of his. A real '66 G.T.350 that's been a race car since the 70's.

The funny part was explaining how I knew you... it's like when my wife asked... So you've never actually met any of these people? Well... no. Go cut the grass.
What?
I'm going to go cut the grass.
It's dead?
I'm going to my room!
That's my room too.
I'm going to go reduce my raw!
No you're not.
