Please let it be in Grapevine, TX, at that place where it's been before, with the microbrewery next door :).
-
NYC
That's where they should have it!
-
Atlanta, GA would be good. Lots of convention spots and things to do here.
-
Syracuse, NY.
Then I won't have to drive far :)
-
Ft, Walton beach/Destin Florida
Beach, Sun, Fun, Pensacola NAS museum, Eglin AFB Museum, Nightlife, convention center, Need I say more?
-
Screw you all. HA
I'ts going to be in San Diego, best city in the U.S.!!!!!
-
its gona be in corvallis oregon, largest town in "a few miles!"
-
What about Halifax, Yorkshire, England ??
Centre of culture, broad tree lined avenues, magnificent historic buildings, majestic and varied countryside, focus of haute cuisine, European capital of the arts & science, finest beers, throbbing night life, permanant blue sunny skies and thousands of beautiful, young, rich, available girls desperate to meet fine American men with an interest in WW2 aviation.
Honest. :)

De De De De DETROIT!
Yeah!
Dave

central U.S fellas:) As far as it being IN EU. Would be kinda hard for the majority. But a beleive a few UK boys get a con together quite often.
-
Casper, WY. Plenty of room.
hap
-
Ok...Here is a serious suggestion.
Oshkosh.
Great museum, nice place to fly into for those who are current.
Even better idea...do our Con. several days before the EAA event.
I've never had a beer from Wisconsin that i've liked, but it might be time to get a driver with a van and take a Brew tour.

Well, let's take a look at the situation:
Europe is too far for the majority of the players.
The Con can't be in the south due to recent increase in hurricane danger. The North-east is out because of blizzard danger.
The north-west can't be the spot because other than the 3-4 people that live there, it would be difficult for others to adjust to the wide-open spaces.
West coast is defintely not good due to the risk of earthquakes.
That leaves only two real choices...........
Las Vegas or Las Vegas!
Blackjack, Craps, Poker, Slot machines, video poker, Nellis AFB, nightlife, Mustang Ranch (nothing to do with P-51's. If you gotta ask, don't go there),lots of convention centers, comped rooms, high-desert clean air,
and -
"What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas!"
-
Las Vegas
-
Keep in mind folks that Yankee and Ronni ran a LOT of interference for HTC getting and keeping that show up and running...no slight intended to HT, Pyro and Skuzzy, who untangled miles of LAN cable.
My bet's on Grapevine and last mention was next Spring.
We'll see.
DmdMax
-
London please
-
Another vote for Las Vegas.
A couple of more reasons:
Flights to Las Vegas are plentiful and often cheap, and,
What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. (I know already mentioned, but bears repeating!)

If your sitting behind your computer inside who cares if there's 4 feet of snow outside.

My top 3 choices:
Korea
Hawaii
Vegas in the off off off season when you can get Venetian rooms for $100.
-
ah the joy of living in las vegas. dont have to worry about off off off season. but thats just monday- thursday
-
Alexis Park in Las Vegas would be Perfect. They have relatively cheap rooms, and some great ballrooms. I went to DEFCON there this year, and it was freakin awesome. I would be glad to help with the arrangements. Im itchin to go to a con...last one i was at was the '97AW Con in Houston.
-
A word from HTC on this would be nice.

YES!!! Theres a complete arena in downtown Buffalo that used to house the Buffalo Sabres that we can have the run of.
Fuzeman, where at in outside the Buffalo? Im in lakeview (hamburg)

exit 5 off 190 can only get off on it going north. head to the lake. when it ends look right. i rented a room there for 16 years so they wouldnt make me stay over nite waiting for russer foods.

I guess we get ourselves dug out of it faster than you Colorado-ans :)
BlueJ1, a few miles north of 'The Ralph' on Lake Ave.
If you drive down that road and see some lunatic with his arms straight out 'flying' around his from yard mumbling 'Take that you Rooky!!!' and 'Gonna get you, you Bishop you!!' that would be me.
{ Of course the family tries to get me to fly in the 'backyard arena' } :rolleyes:
-
I used to live in a apartment right next to the ralph on a street called richmond, has a pizza shop on corner ( or did). That was back when it was still the Rich stadium and the Rolling Stones had a concert that we could hear clear as day in our backyard.

Yeah, but people still gotta be able to fly into the con, and leave when it's over. Hard to do if there's 4 ft. of snow on the runways. And, do you really wanna be stuck in a convention hall with thiis group when the beer runs out and you can't go get anymore?:eek:
-
Beer is a common thing around here, and were close for our flying Canadian friends.
-
If it was in Detroit, I think the membership would be less afterwards. I hate that town. Anywhere would be good, except for the west coast. Count me in for the next one, and bring lots of Rum :P
-
Pensacola. Beach, booze and the Naval Aviation Museum.

You say "anywhere would be good"... just NOT Detroit or anywhere on the west coast. You've cut out a few places there from the anywhere list :p

Vegas during a Red Flag excercise. Be cool to go sit at the end of the runway and watch all them planes launch on their missions out of Nellis!!!:aok

Sturgis,SD during "Bike Week". Would be interesting to see how a bunch of drunken bikers would take to an online air combat con. "What happens in Stugis stays in Sturgis".

Erm....... yes, Aces High...... :) I think it will be in Dallas again as that is where all but one of them have been so far; the only exception was when Jordi organised one (2003) in Indianapolis....
As for a Euro/UK Convention...... we have had some kind of get-together/convention every year since 1997 that I know of, until last year. Unfortunately it seems nobody wants to be responsible for organising anything these days. There was a hint of something in November, but no further news has appeared and November is less than 2 days away......
-
Portland! this year will be my only chance to get to go to an ah con as I move back to germany in april
-
Definately NYC.....Unlimited night life....An Airbus or Boeing whenever you look skyward....and the Intrepid....and did I mention how drunk we could get?

I say we have it in the VIP Room at the China Club in NYC. ROTFLMFAO QUAH!!!
No sex in the champaign room .

They also all start in NYC. :)

Clearly, a winter convention in south FL rocks.
:)
-
It will be in or around Grapevine. We don't have the resources to hold it somewhere else. It's currently in the planning stages and we're eyeing June as the timeframe.
-
Thanks for the info, Pyro. Please again have it in that hotel with the steakhouse/microbrewery next door in between the hotel and the Bass Pro Shop. That's a great location, with excellent beer by the gallon and a live-fire shooting range within walking distance, and free eggs-to-order for breakfast.
-
hmm how about somewhere in the caribeean
warm weather, beaches, half nekkid ladies, lots booz, half nekkid ladies, lots stuff to do like scuba, fishing, doing half nekked ladies,:cool:

Hey, the longer we go without a Con, the the longer me and Edbert are the current "Con 2V2 Duel Champions."
I think we've been the reigning champions longer than anyone. ;-)

Have it in Calgary Alberta Canada, a week before the Calgary Stampede (http://calgarystampede.com). Since I'll be on parental leave, I can definately assist and coordinate the event. May get WestJet (http://www.westjet.com) and BigRock (http://www.bigrockbeer.com/) to sponsor. :D

Well if you forget to bring leather underwear and a plunger you will be forever shamed.
the initiation is painful, but it is a "good" hurt, and you should be able to sit the next night.
If there is flakpanzer oil, you must do at least 3 shots in 1 minute, or forever be shuned. Be sure to have a giant glass of mead when you wake up, just like orange juice.
Since Ronnie and Yankee won't be there to ogle, keeping an eye on Skuzzy is appropiate. if in the Rogue Gryffons suite a woman asks for tips to by a boob job, tip her. Never go to hooters with Flyy, Alpo, Tarmac, or especially JB73. Never follow them to a seedy topless bar, and lastly make sure to book the earliest tee time you can for saturday morning at the local golf course.
-
The Red Garter... SEEDY?!? You are talking landmark potential... besides, no one followed me down there. Most had tables and dollar bills in hand before I arrived! ;)
You make it sound like something bad happened... uh... did something happen? :huh I mean aside from the fountain swimming and AHGod coming back to the lobby with a silly grin on his face and mumbling something about "was it good?? Smell my elbow!"
:rofl
-
you forget about me being "bounced" from the garter :aok :lol
-
Well... they DO have their standards to maintain! ;)
-
Have it at the Badda Bings in Joisey, so all the boyz can attend.
Big Petey, little petey, medium sized petey.
Mussels marinara, Joey bag-o-doughnuts
Joe shufalo.................the list goes on and on
fogetta bout it
You want a convention, we got a convention OOOOOOOHH

Doobs you and the other squadies need to start a collection so I can come over there for the con and show ya's all how to drink like a man....
:p

ROFL DETROIT
DETROIT is for radish$ ROFL
Now West Philadelphia theres a SA arena
but all kiddin aside I would like to know soon and just for the Headsup
I will be there and Im Bringing MY 18 wheeler with me
:) selling tickets !!
-
HTC how bout a rough idea of when........purty please
-
Anywhere that has cheap hotels and pubs/microbrewrey.
I intend to meet and greet and then we should have a "squad night" in said drinking establishment.
In fact, we don't really need a convention center, just a hotel for anyone that may wish to "convene" while the rest of us get drunk and tell war stories lol
can't wait for this boys
PS Can we also have it in San Francisco ? that way it's a short drive for me and all you lot would enjoy the trips to Alcatraz:cool:
-
I'm all in for Vegas, I think that would be the best spot...
"I'ts going to be in San Diego, best city in the U.S.!!!!!"
I love San Diego, goin there the 23rd of this month for a sales meeting, get to play golf at Tory Pines and stay at the Omni, I can't wait...
-
Yup Vegas would be the best for us the customers, all flights to Vegas are cheap from anywhere. Flights to Texas on the other hand are a bit more on the steep side.
-
exactly Bob and besides if you have a huge gathering of people, really where else is there ? This should be an easy pick, when looking for fun you must go to Vegas, accept nothing less
-
I could actually get to attend one of these now!!!! Grapevine is only 5 hours away from San Antonio more or less.....
Pyro mentioned June.....any dates yet?
