    Thanks Charlie. Can you believe they were going to put one of my pictures on the cover but none were quite good enough quality wise. Man, I wish I could have gotten Streaker on the cover... and instead they put that SeaRey file photo thats already been used in many magazines and many brouchures.<br /><br />moral of the story - turn that resolution up on your digital camera. you never know when you might need those extra pixels!

    Good job, Bret. The factory guys were really pleased with your cover article. They had big smiles and stacks of the magazine at OSH.

    Man, thats great. I was hoping it would come out in time for Oshkosh and give PA a little well timed press.

    Someone needs to send me a copy of the EAA Sport Pilot magazine with Brets article. Guess I`ll have to join EAA now. Anybody got an extra copy??????????     
  
Bret Smith - Aug 04,2004   Viewers  | Reply
    I'm getting extra copies at some point. If you don't get one by other means, I'll send you one of mine.

    No problemo Charlie.<br /><br />Roberta, I love hearing that and then I get all ticked-off that I didn't get the cover cause it was mine for taking. I just didn't have teh photo quality. The editor even stretched the deadline while I sent her every photo of my SeaRey I could find and they picked through and evaluated them all. The pic of the taxi under the train tresle was a finalist but didn't pass quality control in the 11th hour. DANG! I wish after she told me she was going to use a 'file photo' of a SeaRey that I'd asked her if I could come to you guys for submission your birds! I'm sorry for that too! DANG!<br /><br />Does anybody know the history of that bird that is on the cover. I've seen that photo so many times, I'm curious. Is it still flying?

    I just got back from OSH last night and HOLY MACKERAL BRET YOUR STORY WAS THE TALK OF THE SHOW. The magazine was EVERYWHERE in all the news stands and a big boost for PA. Way to go man !<br />

    Any chance that you could post it on this site Bret?     
  
Bret Smith - Aug 06,2004   Viewers  | Reply
    Awe man that is great to hear Darrell! You guys are the only feedback I'm getting on this so I really appreciate ya'll telling me this stuff.<br /><br />Steve I'll try to figure out a way to scan the pages and post them. I have no pride at this point... I'm not exactly the self-conscious type but that one of the family with me and no shirt... well that was just unnecesary Rick, what was that diet you are on? Improving SR gross weight hasn't gotten me to diet but that dang photo just might.... oh me, oh my. thousands of copies huh?

    Bret, you and I both may have to go on a diet. I`m on the low carb now and have lost 11 lbs so far. Both our fat ass togather will not get airborn. HEHEHHEHEH

    The EAA website now has the full article available on their website. You have to be able to view .pdf files but its an exact electronic copy of what was in the magazine.      Attachments:
