2016 "Summer in the South" An AH get together; sponsored byt the 49thFG

[49MERLIN]

<S> All,                    THIS IS A PRELIMINARY POST TO GAGE INTEREST!!!

     The 49thFG would like to cordially invite ALL current & former AH players to attend our "Summer in the South 2016" event.  Recently there has been a great interest within the 49thFG for our squad to get together and, "commune", in person.  However, the level of interest was so overwhelming that we decided to invite everyone in the AH community that can make the trip!  This event will be held on July 9th & 10th, with the expectation that most everyone will arrive the evening of Friday, July 8th.  Please, realize that we have NEVER done this before and that this is still in a VERY preliminary phase of planning.  Venues have been inquired upon, and finding outlets for entertainment are varied in this region.  We are obviously trying to keep the costs to a minimum, while taking the FUN & entertainment to a maximum. 
     This event will be held in "The Heart of Dixie", The GREAT STATE of ALABAMA!!!  The city will either be Huntsville, which has an international airport for you to fly in to, or in Guntersville, (about 40 minutes drive from Huntsville).  If you read this and then go look for flights to Huntsville, please know that it would most likely be much cheaper to fly in to Birmingham, Alabama, or Nashville, Tennessee and then rent a car to Huntsville for the weekend. 
     We, the 49ers, are looking to cram as much fun & entertainment into one weekend as is humanly possible!  If you are interested please reply to this post so that we may better gauge the community interest in this event.  Expect more threads concerning this topic as we iron out the details of this highly anticipated extravaganza.

I'm from North Carolina myself, and I'd be interested in attending!

Well both of those towns have an airport I can land my plane. If the date comes around and I don't have any plans, I might make a cameo.

Swing by Saskatchewan in the great white north on your way down Lilmak?    Interesting idea 49's, hope you get lots of people and no one get's a night in the slammer! 

[Dundee]

Hell Yes...........I'll be there for sure. I hope to meet the people I talk to on channel. Also looking forward to meeting those who are on the 200 channel as well. I'm glad we opened this up for everyone. If you plan on showing up for a day or a couple of days.....reply to this thread and let us know so we can plan the event better knowing how many intend on showing up.

Hmmm, very interesting. Not too far from Pensacola. Me and my alter ego's might have an interest in crashing the party.

I used to go to Guntersville to install and sercice several MRIs.
Maybe I'm wrong but isn't there a small airpot between Guntersville and
Huntsville that houses a WW1 era museum including WWI aircraft?
