EAA correction

I spoke to a pilot friend who helped with the pyrotechnics at EAA, and he said they used dynamite, detcord, and gasoline. Three gallons would make a good 2-story-house sized flame that we could feel from half a mile away.

I should have asked how to join the team. Although maybe it is better if I don't. The director is retiring this year--and that may be a good thing. My friend had to put out a few small fires that fell near the setup for the next blasts. A bit too close for comfort.
