<DIV>Hello Everyone,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I haven't been able to get on the list this month until now. I noticed the
NTP comments about the Boeing 707 and admit it does seem dumb if you don't know
the entire story. For the past two Christmases, we have made a present to our
readers by having the airplane's name discretely written somewhere on the photo
in small print. Check out the Twin Comanche from last December's Model
Aviation. Normally the print could only be seen if the reader enlarged the
airplane's photo in Sport Aviator.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Well, this Boeing 707 is the <EM>last</EM> Name The Plane ad we are
going to run. And it is running around Christmas time. So I decided to give
everyone a really big Christmas present this year and found a photo with the
largest airplane name on it I could locate. Kind of a celebration of a
great ad series and a thank you to everyone.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In the 24 months it ran, over 28,000 readers entered the contest and
we gave away 24 free memberships. A few were given to people who wrote and
thanked us since they had some tough times and couldn't afford to renew their
membership. Now they could stay AMA members for at least another year. I felt
very good about being able to help those individuals.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks to everyone for reading Sport Aviator and for entering the 24 NTP
contests.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Happy New Year,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
