"When Enemies Become Friends," Falklands - Malvinas Expedition to find Mariano Valasco's Airplane. Making a Documentary.

Dear Neil,

I almost flunked out of English and History.  Who needs to do all of this ridiculous study, "I Aint got no problm spekin englsh", I used to think.  I never realized about learning until I got into the Navy.  There I got straight A's and that was a two year classroom course before we went into the fleet.  My brother went into the Air Force and had no schools.  I couldn't believe it.  He just had on the job training and that was it.  Before I chose to go to the Navy I read about different career opportunities in a career class in High School.  It said that the Navy had the best schools and that's why I chose the Navy after I had two brothers that went to the Air Force and two who went to the Army. 

From that time on I always took some kind of course, either in night school, home study or by cassette tapes.  I have about a hundred success and business courses on cassette and have listened to them about a hundred times each.  That's the truth.  Every day that I drove to work and home, an hour each way, I would listen to the courses giving me two hundred and fifty-five days a year with two hours of study each day.  My nephew wanted to have copies of the tapes and I would use the high speed copy on my tape deck to make them.  But in that mode I could still hear the words and since I studied the tapes so many times, I could still understand everything these tapes said.  It was great because I was still getting the whole tape pushed into my head.  I stopped listening to music, almost altogether, because it turned out that the Rock-n-Roll became psychological warfare against the betterment of all mankind and is really bad with the new Hip-Hop and Rap music today.  So the only place that I found comfort and a future, was in my cassette tapes. 

Now when I work in the garage, I still listen to music, but only the old stuff or country.  I found a good country station that is not playing dying dog country, so it is really good music.  But, just like your Falklands project, this is how I now do my studies.  The emails that I receive are fantastic and I almost always hear from people, like yourself, who have something worthwhile to say.  My old high school friend got spammed permanently from me because he just sends me filthy jokes and porn pictures.  This happened to some of my other friends who became Big Shots in the government.  All the time that they are supposed to be working, they are sending filthy emails back and forth.  This is why I don't think our country has a future.  These guys have nothing but filth flowing through their heads and they are the big bosses.  This filth is an attack on our country and the whole world.

Ever since I ended up disabled, everything that I have ever done, including making this website at YellowAirplane.com, has been an accident.  I was trying to promote a product called Energy Release and was one of their very first distributors.  I had no money and I used the promotion techniques from the Joe Cossman and other courses to promote my product.  So I started the March of Dimes Race Team.  They said that it was ok to use their name, so I looked for some racers who might be interested.  I found a team that didn't tell me that it couldn't be done, which almost ten teams have already told me, so we painted the March of Dimes logo on their car.  The very first race that we went to, I didn't know a single person at the track and have never been to that track ever before.  I didn't know it, but the announcer quit that very same day.  Then my race car team builder told me to follow him.  We walked up to the announcers booth and I was thinking that this was great because I will get to see what the booth looks like inside.  There wasn't anyone in there.  My friend said, "this is your chair, you're the announcer".  It took me twenty minutes to get enough courage to say anything.  I would turn the mic on and off, and on and off again and never say anything.  I knew nothing at all, including the fact that I was going to be the announcer.  I announced for eighteen years until the staples in my stomach started cutting me so bad that I couldn't do it anymore.  I announced for car races, midget races, go carts and motorcycles.  I announced several state championships and national championships with the ESPN news anchor being my backup guy.  It was great! 

But, just after starting the announcing for the first time, I did what the courses said to do and wrote news releases to everyone.  So that's what I did and I told everyone about the March of Dimes Race Team.  The magazine liked my article so much that the editor did a special on it and then invited me to keep on writing.  I had so many good comments written to the editor about my unusual stories, that I ended up becoming a staff writer.  Then I told him that they should have a subscription form in every issue, so they did that and the number subscriptions went up.  Then I said that they should have a new product section and he made me the New Products Editor.  It was all an accident for me. 

The track tried for ten years to get the TV to come out and take pictures of the races, but they were never successful.  I had them out to the track five times in just the very first year.  I was on several other stations with interviews and, at some events, I had several TV stations covering the event at one time. 

The newspapers put me in the headlines in three states saying, "Dyrek Racing Beneficial".  Twice a year I ran donation drives where the racers would come into the stands and collect money for the March of Dimes efforts in their fight for healthier babies and we always brought in at least 500 dollars each time. 

I ended up on radio talk shows and TV talk shows.  Also, I have been in many parades and blew up my radiator right in the middle of one of the parades having water and steam flying out everywhere and stopping the whole parade in the middle of the street.

With just talking on the web to people just like you.  I ended up going to the North Pole and being a guide on my very first expedition.  Experienced expeditioniers thought that I was experienced myself because I watched the promotional videos so many times as I would make copies and send them to prospective customers.  After two years of doing making the copies, I knew the names of so many of the other people that have been to the pole and how the operation worked, it was like I've been there many times myself and I sounded like an expert.

TV stations, like the BBC, NBC, History Channel, NHK and others would call me very often.  If I couldn't help them myself, I would send them to someone that could.  With all of the contacts that I've made, I ended up finding the Russian team for a Junk Yard Wars program, I think that they call it Scrap Heap Wars in England.  You may have seen the program where they made large snow machines that could break through huge walls of snow.  The Russian's almost won, but broke a drive shaft which stopped them.

I ended up giving lectures in high schools, middle schools, local clubs and then universities.  That's a good business, by the way.

Actually I can go on and on with this, but I think that you get the point. You are now starting on the same path as I have and we are working on this project together.  It's great! Just look at all of the people that we have met just in the past six months and this project has just started.   There's some cartoon named "The Future is Wild," and it is.  The future is wild and we are the wild ones because we will go where others will not.  The TV, Radio, Newspapers and Magazines are super hungry for a good story and your story is a super good one with the idea of "When Enemies Become Friends".   This is a great theme and President Obama's ideas are very much heading in the same way.  We are right at the beginning of the wave and this is when we need to paddle the hardest so we can ride the wave just as a surfer does.  We are the first to bring this idea along and are right on a wave that President Obama is trying to create himself. 

With the BBC getting involved, we may very well all get free rides on military aircraft to the Falklands as part of the TV program.  It would be good press for the military and would greatly add to the BBC's program too.  In fact, your BBC contact should hear about this idea because it would be a very inexpensive way for them to get their story, and at the same time, make the story even better.  In fact, I will write him with some of these ideas myself tonight because my brain has just started into a storm. 

You are doing a fantastic and professional job on your part.  It's very rare that I meet anyone who takes the ball or even runs with the team.  Most people will just sit and dream of great things just coming to them and when it comes time to work, they just want to drink a beer and watch the Boob Tube and that's it. 

Five percent of the people in the U.S. are millionaires.  That means that only five percent of the people will have good ideas that are worth anything and will pursue their ideas.  Just like I said a long time ago, there are three kinds of people in the world; People who make things happen: People who talk about making things happen: and People who don't know what's happening.  You are a person that makes things happen.

You are a friend of the Royal family.  Maybe they can't do anything on this event, but there are indeed people that they can do things on other events.  Like you said about Prince Andrew, he was the first to go into battle and the last to come out.  He fought like a Royal Example.  This in itself is newsworthy and was never covered in this way in any program that I have ever seen.  Instead, most people think that since he was such a notable man, that he would only go in to conflicts when there was very little or no danger, but it was actually the opposite with Prince Andrew. 

With our story, he may not be able to take part in going to the Falklands, but he sure can give an interview and even mention you in the Gulf War since you both were on the same crew.  This is noteworthy and can give great feedback all the way around.

My mom loves the Queen.  She said that Queen Elizabeth would drive trucks and jeeps in the war delivering supplies to parts of the city that were bombed out.  You know the Queen yourself and have been invited to a ball in the Palace in 2007.  This is significant!  This is a notable occasion. 

With all of the great things that Princess Diana has done, Prince Andrew's efforts and the efforts of the Queen in times in great need, there is a lineage in their efforts that should be known and it will all fit in with your story, "When Enemies Become Friends".  You too are part of this never ending lineage of noteworthy English Citizens and this is newsworthy, worldwide.  You are on a mission from God himself because of your good intent.  This is why we met and this is why I want to be part of this mission and meet Mariano myself.  I too would like to meet the Queen because of all the good things that my mom has told me about her.  I would like to meet Prince Andrew because of his willingness to put his life on the line at a moments notice in the line of duty.  I would also like to meet you for all of your efforts because you are a person that is worth meeting by this disabled veteran.

Thank you very, very much for all of your tremendous efforts and your friendship,

Jeff.
