Greetings Sol Starr,
Welcome to the forum!

Sol Starr reporting in. Eagle 8 primed for launch. Eagle 5 set the bar. Anyone seen ships 6 and 7 or are we still pretending that never happened? lolz.
First spaceship, lots to learn. Looking for a true Spaceball master and a new wingman.

My ship is a 1986 Winnie Chiefton P30 31 footer :D

May the Swartz be with us!
