I was recently interviewed by a reporter for The National Post, Canada's national newspaper regarding Omega Flight and it's change to a Mini. I was questioned on the series, AF history, and the Fight For The Flight.

I'm not sure when the article will be printed, or if it has been approved for print yet, but I'll let you all know if I hear anything.

That's amazing Ben! Did they seek you out or was it something you brought to their attention?

Looks like this interview should see print on the first Saturday after Omega Flight #1 hits the shelves, maybe the Saturday after that.

I have also been asked to do a phone interview with the Toronto Star, that should take place in the next day or two.

Quesda said to make noise...

Great so I'll be expecting that CD or cassette tape in your best speaking voice. You know literacy in the US is not what it used to be (or maybe it's excactly what it used to be).

I don't normally read it, so some things maybe subscriber only, like a lot of newspaper websites.

Thanks!! :D Just can't wait to read it!!

I never understood the "eh!" thing... Even in Quebec City, they sell t-shirts for the American tourists with the "Eh!".

It was a joke because i know that there is a small number of Canadians that say Eh but of course as Americans we generallize so I was making a joke about the need to keep the stereotype alive


If it helps, I'm from Texas and everyone when they meet me is liek "Howdy Y'all"... and thats not how I talk
