Hey Ron, good to hear you. Well you know when you do your pilots, once you get your solo and do your cross country, you could always make Prineville a stop. We actually have a very nice airport here. It's two runways and yeah, it's a decent little plane. Matt, you know, KI7UEF has flown in here and picked us up and taken us flying and it's been a lot of fun. Well Ben is finally getting a tower as one of the, like the fifth busiest airport in Oregon and they are finally getting a tower down at Ben. Redmond is the big airport here on the east side. But the Ben airport, Matt has said don't fly in there. It's crazy because they get so much traffic that sooner or later you're going to get into trouble. He said, yeah, fly in to Prineville, fly in to Madras, fly in to Redmond is great but don't fly in to Ben. But I think once they get a tower in that will probably change. But they also have lots of student pilots flying out of Ben, both ELOs as well as fixed wing. And so, yeah. But, yeah, if you ever get a chance by the way, go up with Matt. He is an excellent pilot and he has his own plane here in Redmond which is where he keeps his and yeah, we've had some fun times there. Back to you Ron.
