"Boss, de plane! de plane!"


Large view of the banner


Overall view of the plane


Some of the Fox team members prepare for the plane to fly over with the FoxPro banner, taken at about 11:25am PST. Picture includes Calvin Hsia (Lead Developer, Visual FoxPro) getting ready to video tape the event, Alan Griver (Lead Program Manager and Evangelist for Visual Basic .NET), Cathi Gero (contractor on the Fox team), Fabian Winternitz (Test Engineer, VFP team). Just behind Calvin is Richard Stanton (Developer, VFP team), plus you can see Mike Stewart (Lead Test Engineer, VFP Team) with his long hair and back to the camera.


This one is of Alan Griver (Lead Program Manager and Evangelist for Visual Basic .NET) and Calvin Hsia (Lead Developer, Visual FoxPro). This pictures was taken as the plane with the banner was flying over Microsoft. Notice that Alan Griver (YAG) is wearing the 10 year MS/FoxPro anniversary shirt that Hugh sent. Note that many people at Microsoft like folks on the Visual Basic team saw the plane fly over Microsoft. Everyone here thought it was very cool!
