You are absolutely right here! They have forgotten the memories of the past, not forgotten, they have thrown them out of the window as though all of our lessons learned are trash, and they are making new rules. They have also adopted the initial gun rules of the Cobras where they "stand-off" to protect landing slicks, and we all know that doesn't work! They need to listen to the discussions like those that Falcon 6 and I had at your house.

I pray that Falcon 6 Jr. is nothing more than shaken up, and that he is doing well. I wish him a safe trip back to the world.
