I don't do computers as a hobby, contrary to popular belief. I will however use them for entertainment such as playing violent games or messing around on my sites. My hobbies include R/C aircraft, making furniture, working on my old truck, metalwork, boolit casting or anything that needs to be done around the house. BTW - I am proud to say that I am my own wetback and I don't let anybody else work in my yard or garden. |

My good friend Scott Allie, Sam and myself were members of the club local to Edinburg. This club had great facilities. However, due to bad management and politics this facility was lost to us. We are now in the very fortunate position where we have the exclusive use of an agricultural airstrip. The grass is kept neat and is a real treat to fly off of. The members of the RGV Aces thank Moad Aviation for their generosity and hospitality. A very big "Thank You" also goes to Jaime Salazar for keeping the site ready for our flying. Anybody who wishes to join us can contact me by sending email to the address on the home page. |

Here are a few pictures of our host working. RGV Aces thank Ben for his generosity for allowing us exclusive use of this great facility. For those of you who don't know this, agriculture is the main wealth generator in the USA. Here is the RGV our lives are directly impacted by the success of agriculture. I always joke that our house is being paid for by onions. Onions also happen to be one of the crops which Ben sprays. |
