We are pleased to announce that Robert F. Hornbeck, author of A Twin Engine Pilot In WWII, will be speaking at the Mini-Con, in addition to Korean War AD Skyraider pilot Jason Stewart.  Mr. Hornbeck served in the USAAF during WWII and flew the A-20G on a combat tour with the 312th BG in the Pacific.  You can find more about Mr. Hornbeck and the 312th here:  http://home.comcast.net/~rfhornbeck/wsb/html/view.cgi-home.html-.html

If you haven't registered yet, do it soon.  Our deadline to get discounted hotel rooms has been extended through tomorrow.  The last day to register for the Airshow or Banquet is October 9.  You can register for the basic package up until the end of the Mini-Con.

I always enjoy those guest speakers. Remember Gabreski at the 2000 WB con in NC? What a blinder of an address he gave! A lot of what he said was also in his book that I bought.

I'll hold off buying Hornbeck's book just now from that weblink because we might get a chance to buy an autographed one at the con.

You're scaring me lazs.  Hopefully this mental picturing isn't happening while you're alone in bed with one hand under the sheets.

I'll be there.  I'm driving down on Thursday and staying through Tuesday.  I'm gonna be rooming with Pongo and SOB (giving SOB a ride down there).
