[NSRCA-discussion] Shipping airplane question

[Ron Van Putte]

The best two airplane travel deals I heard of were:

1.  Getting Steve Lelito's Genesis from Massachusetts to Jason  
Shulman in Orlando via (Dave Lampron, who was going to Disney World),  
then Jason taking it to the Lakeland contest, where I took possession  
and returned it the Fort Walton Beach, FL.

2.  Getting Jason's two Sharks (in BIG boxes) to Crestview, FL via  
John Fuqua, where they were picked up by John's son, Kevin a week  
later when he came for a visit, and Kevin taking them back to Baton  
Rouge, LA, where Bryan Hebert picked them up to work on.

No money exchanged hands.  What a pair of deals!
