Haven't seen a word from him in a while?? Is he on vacation?

It's sort of his standard MO.
Pops in for a short bit and then communication blackout for awhile.
All part of his overseas new project responsibilities.
This has been going on ever since he left the Customer Service Mgr position for the product development responsibilities some 2+ years ago.;)
ORRR!!! He could be knee deep in the technical drawings for the new 2000mm OV-10!!!

Isn't that kind of a selfish thought this time of year? Especially for all the things he's done for us. I guess only veterans understand what it's like during the holidays with a deployment coming up. And anyways it's a 1400 mm Bronco.

Self righteous much? Some of us keep the home fires burning while are boys are out doing what the government tell them to do. Then some of us are taking vets around to the VA. God this country sometimes has all sorts.

First, thank you for helping out my shipmates. Second, wasn't trying to be self-righteous, but then again, twenty years, two Med deployments, two Western Pacific deployments and a world cruise does alter ones perspective.

Wow... way to try to ruin a fun comment!
Anyway, I was curious where Alpha disappeared to as well but just chalked it up to his mysterious personality! But, maybe it is the wrong time of year to say something like that? :Thinking::Not-Talking:
Like Charlie(OV10) mentioned, it is Alpha's standard MO. When he is stateside he can be pretty active on the forums, but he has been spending much of his time in the orient for the past couple of years. He has mentioned that good internet access can be had to come by sometimes.
From what I know of him, he's very much "hands on" with every aspect of a model from initial concept to shipping from the factory. He takes great pride in giving us a quality model at a reasonable price point. He's just that dedicated to the proccess. I, for one am very greatfull he does. When he does get on the forum, it certainly is fun and we often get a glimps of what's to come and how we are going to get there. He's sometimes on the RCAfterhours podcasts. Those are worthwhile listening to. Trident and Wolves should be on the horizon somewhere.........:)
Yes, come on guys I wasn't meant do be anything other than a funny remark. I have an Uncle who serviced in Italy and had the top of his head shot off while riding his motorcycle through enemy lines to bring help. He had a plate for the rest of his life. My uncle went in on D Day and another uncle was Special Forces in Korea. Alot of my buddies here on the Squawk and here in Wyoming know me and know how much I love and respect them and the things they've done to ensure our freedom....

Hey mate, I was just wondering, he was posting quite a bit then blank. I didn't know he didn't post when he was in China. Still kinda new here Valk.

Might be taking a breather with the 25th being past. From what I read between the lines over on one of the helo threads, and what he "could neither confirm nor deny" that they might be having troubles with the vendors in China.
