Springfield Air Rendezvous 2001.


Macomb Fly in 2001
Two years before Steve bought a model of Susan Dacy an Aerobatic Flyer.  He kept the model in the same blister package and when she was there again, we chased her down and had her sign it.

Prairie Air show 2001
This was a real hot one and there was no water that we could find.  The show was good and they had a good static aircraft display.  We brought about six kids on this one.  The kids got to sit in aircraft and watch the jet truck blast down the runway at three hundred miles an hour in six seconds.

Quad Cities Air show 7-14-2000 Davenport, Iowa
The quad cities air show is one of the best.  They always have some fantastic static military and fun displays and a great air show too.

Bloomington "Prairie" Air show 7-8-2000
Bloomington, Illinois now in Peoria, this is a great air show with usually the Blue Angels or the USAF Thunderbirds.

Field Trip to 183rd Fighter Squadron 6-12-2000
Springfield, Illinois.  This is a real good one.  We had the grand tour of the base and a super close look at an F-16 Falcon.  We had two van loads of kids on this trip.

Roger Smith's Airplane Shop
Macomb, Illinois  We had a number of kids and parents from the Bushnell Housing Development go to Roger's Airplane Shop.  Here he is always working on or building a new airplane.  The kids get to look at the airplanes all of the way from construction to flying.  This is a very special privilege.

Thank you for the sweet words and inspiring thoughts Jeff...You always did help keep me on a positive thinking way of life....You inspired me so much in the positive thought path that I finished up a Masters license in stress reduction and positive thinking, psych field.  I may have not chosen the holistic healing area of study if it had not been for you encouraging me to explore healing plants and the power of positive thought.  Thanks.

Working with people is what we all need to do.  Every man is a man regardless of where he grew up and what he was taught.  Every woman is a person too, no matter where they have come from or what they were also taught. 

When we think about what our kids are being taught today, what kind of society are we going to have when they become men and women and start running our country and the world.  Every adult has the responsibility to set a good example to every kid and every person no matter where they were born or where they have come from.   The Golden Rule is to Treat Everyone as if You Would Have Them Treat You.  We are all created equal and we must treat everyone as an equal too. 

Take a look at our TV sets today.  Listen to the music that our kids are listening to today.  Almost nothing is moral or educational.  In fact, most programs and songs teach disrespect, hate, drugs, murder, violence, and sexual immortality.   On the streets there is violence, danger and drugs.  Education is being taught as being "un-cool"  and being cool is to be a foul mouth tough guy and totally messed up on drugs.  This is all negative feedback being pushed onto our society by both inside and outside forces plus copycats who are making money or just trying to be someone cool themselves. 

We have our troops fighting terrorism overseas, but how are we fighting terrorism right here in the United States?  It's sort of like how are going to get the splinter out of someone else's eye, when we can't even get the log out of our own eye!  We need to start fighting the violence right here in America.  We need to fight the drugs and everything that is causing our problems right here at home.  This is why the Y-I-BET on the Youth of America Program was formed.

However, when I took a course in fire fighting in the US Navy, they said don't spray the flames, spray the source of the fire.  Our police are seeing a higher and higher crime rate in the country and they are doing everything that they can do to stop the crime and to protect all people.  Even though their job is a necessary part of stopping crime, they are only spraying the flames but missing the source of the fire.  The source of the fire is what we are teaching our kids.  The negative feedback that our TV and Radio are showing to our kids is the programming of their minds and the condensation nuclei which will generates the way that they will react to any situation and with the formation of their overall ideology.  It is important to teach our kids not to have a foul mouth: To have education and technology as a hobby:  and to do your fair share of work through both physical effort and an educational effort.  Work on yourself harder than you do the money, as Ed Beckley once put it.  But this works on all parts of your life, not just money. 

With the Y-I-BET Program we are spraying our fire hoses directly at the flames.  We are replacing the street education with ideas of learning by doing things.  We go to Air Shows, Races, Airports, Military Bases, Museums or just for a walk through the country.   We have found that it's not only the kids that need trained, the parents need training too.  Education and self improvement must be a way of life being incorporated into every form of our pleasures and entertainment.    Read through the following pages and look at what we have done throughout the years for the betterment of our people, community and country.   Thank you very much,  C. Jeff Dyrek, Webmaster.
