I can not wait to meet the planes of people of the event!

I'd like to tour the various planes, people, food and events they will have with you all.
A few of us have already begun to coordinate a small gathering of Aces High players.

Who here will be attending this event?

Wish I could go, PA sure is far from CA though... Make sure to take lots of pictures of that pretty A6M they have, certainly would be the main event for me.

I can probably make it on the Sunday, I am in San Clemente, so not a bad drive to Chino.
