Wow..... looks like a very cool gathering.

I've been about a half dozen times SHuff and it's a blast!. There is a ton to see, so many people to talk to, and a great place to hook up with squadies or others cartoon pilots. We had an even dozen one year!

Hey I went last year and there was not a single tank!  Anyway I also couldn't find anyone from AH..we should have an actual meeting place this year and I might consider going again.

There was a spitfire last year, by far the coolest.

Agreed  :x
It will be there this year as well...

Perhaps in the o'club because it's easy to find?
(or by the spitfire   :D)

Guess it depends which day everyone is planning on going.

If everyone decides on Sunday, I can probably make it.

Depending on how "busy" (i use that term as loosely as humanly possible) Airflyer is will determine how often we go.  I would love to go every day but I don't think I'm driving there in my own vehicle (gas hog).  If there is a day/place/time people wanted to meet up I can try for that. :aok
If anyone within an 1-1.5 hour(s) of Reading or Tremont needs a ride I can try to help, but it depends on how money/time is.


Hopefully it doesn't rain again this year. :)

One word of advice.


Get there early, preferably when the gates open. Traffic backs up fast and the line gets long, especially if it is nice out.

2 years ago I sat on the Interstate on a motorcycle, in shorts, with all the exhaust on one side of the bike, and with the temps already in the 90's at 9- 9:30 am for about 1/2 hour (stop and go). Once there parking was a bear with a 15 minute wait in line to get on bus and another 15-20 minute wait in line to get through the gate.
