Hope to meet some of you there,

I'm hoping to be there as well on Saturday. Where are you guys meeting up? I'd enjoy meeting some fellow pilots.

How's about we meet at the Officer's Club at 1. That worked out well last year.

Nuttz, we expect you to get us all rides in your friend's plane.  We'll be waiting at the O-Club at 1:00.

Do not disappoint us.

Too far for me.

I wish i could go though!
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

Wow nice guest list.

A bunch of cool planes too.

And a pair of Tornados!

If it's a German Tornado, be sure to say hi to the pilots and let them know you are an AH pilot.  You just might have shot them down in AH.  :)

I made it to the '99 and 2000 events. Usually, I go to meet friends in the AVG who show up for autograph signing. This way we can have dinner and chat. Due to other commitments, I can't make it there this year, unless something changes over the nest few days.

Have fun guys, its a great event.

My regards,

I was thinking of going until I checked out their directions and it says 3 1/2 hours from the Jersey Shore. For me to drive to Philadelphia it is only about an hour, is Reading really that much further west than Phily? Any of you Pa guys know different?

I live 10 minutes from the Reading Airport in a town called Fleetwood. I can make it to Veterans Stadium in Philly in a little over an hour.

Are you coming on 95?

Is that in your rocket sled?  I think I may have seen you flash by me once.

Might want to plan on maybe 1.5 hours from Ben Franklin Bridge, assuming easy traffic on the Schuylkill.  Certainly it's a do-able trip - Drano is coming from Wilmington.

Where is the OC club? May I suggest for those like me who are fashionably late, to  wear a small white ribbon  on one sleeve maybe?

some of us are exchanging cell phone numbers, But i know many of you won't do that.
