MVP Summit - T+1: Museum of flight ... WOW!
Apart from the buzz of the MVP passion and brainpower humming through the museum of flight ... the experience of visiting the was simply "awesome".
I really, really wish I could have had my three sons with me this evening, because they would be on cloud nine for the rest of their lives. The blackbird ... my youngest son's favourite plane, the Phantom ... my oldest son's favourite plane, F14 Tomcat, Fiat, Sea Harrier, the infamous Starfighter and a gazillion other bits and pieces to be admired.
I am convinced that most of the MVPs forgot about computers this evening ... except the TFS MVPs, who discussed the exam of horrors and the exciting features looming in Orcas and Orcas+.
Thanks Martin (http://www.woodwardweb.com/) for the great flight on the flight simulator. Flying as bomber, with Martin as pilot ... going through a vertical, stall and several disorientating spins ... I now understand why the RAF pilots are feared around the world ... but we must have taken out most of the tanks and planes on any simulation flight tonight. Noah (http://blogs.msdn.com/noahc/) and Jean-Luc (http://weblogs.asp.net/jld/), sorry for looking and 'feeling' like a goof when we met you walking out, but the planes and especially the flight with Martin knocked me out q;-)

Microsoft, thank you for tonight's excursion ... it was incredible!
