I hope you two old geezers are up to the challenge AND in good physical shape.
Listen, Q. Navy pilots are the cream of the crop. We don't get older, we just get better.
And Polar...Having met all these ladies, I'm confident that their lucky partners have no need for chemical stimulation.

FAIL!! haha
ok heres the rundown,
$1000 for the basic speaker fee plus, basic expenses and rental car.
he'd love to do it if ya'll can give him a date to see if it'll fit in his schedule
think its doable?

That could be negotiated. Taxi fares should be reimbursed or airport transportation should be included in the speaker's renumeration package.

im sure he'd be open to negotiation. he was just giving me the examples. his words were something like "airfare, room, car, just the general expenses."
so im sure if we offer it to him in the form of taxi or the shuttles he'll oblige.
I can ask him to seriously put it down on his schedule and contact Doug or you Kristie, all you have to do is say the word

All the responsibility none of the authority
See what throwing in splitting a case of Miller Lite with a second-tier freight pilot no one's ever heard of would do to the cost.
If he really wants to playball, I'm willing to up my offer to 2 cases of beer.
I can only guess it would raise is quote. :yar:
No, really, I'd chip in (as long as I have a job at that time:crazy
DOH!!!
An NJC classic for sure. I had the MTSU/JD video but lost it somewhere....

haha im sure that'd help him. he told me that protocol for his student pilots on their first solo in the AF when he was instructing there was to give him a bottle of his favorite booz, so this just might swing him

Hey guys:
I am sure Rich Graham is a super nice guy. I am seriously wondering however what he is going to present in his lecture that will provide attendees with value? I am sure he will share how cool it is to fly the SR71, and he certainly will have stories about his time with AA, but is that information what we want to spend $1000 plus expenses on? I know funds are tight this year and I just think that every penny spent ought to be scrutinized for the benefit of those attending. I am in favor of a speaker but wonder if we ought to narrow our focus down to someone who can provide motivation, inspiration and more importantly, specific guidance that each of us could can use to further our aviation pursuits. If Rich is everybody's choice, I am OK with that; however, I just wanted to raise the question to insure our minds remained open to other possibilities.

Do you have anyone you'd like to hear speak? Maybe if we're given options a vote could be taken? Just a thought.

well he doesnt just do talks over the SR71. he can do it over basically anything (or at least thats the gist I get from him. If ya'll dont want him, so be it, but being invited to Oshkosh for the past 16 or 17 years and having a completly full schedule until around May im pretty sure he'll be able to bring us something positive

Perhaps we should consider Calcapt as our Keynote Speaker. He had a lot to contribute at the Roundtable discussion last year and was very well received.
Also,
I understand he is cheap and easy to get
