We have a website under construction but it will be a while before it is online.

Thanks. We are making a slim profit and the bills are getting paid but I would rather
have a customer come in once or twice a week for a few hours and feel he really got his
moneys worth than maybe just come in every few months.

Amen to that brother. Math was so boring to me because I never dreamed it would be of
much use in the real world.

*LOL*   :^)

This is something I am already doing through a local Air Force recruiter. We are
arranging some high school assemblies this school year and will take the F-16's over to
the schools and give demo rides. We also volunteered  to attend both local High Schools'
all-night Senior graduation parties next Spring and let the kids use the simulators for
free as our means of saying congratulations on graduating from high school. Plus it gives
us a lot of good exposure.
