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.

Perhaps in the o'club because it's easy to find?

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.

We always bring my Grandfather with his Jazzy GT power chair and his handicap placard.

Park 20 paces from the tarmac   :P

yes I went last year and I got to within 1 mile of the place and then traffic STOPPED!  I ended up parking along the road at a pizza joint and walking 3 miles in.  (turns out I was more than 1 mile out lol)


And to top it all off I could find no O-club there all I wanted was to meet a AH player and talk about the glory days

I am seriously tempted to come this year but I would prolly show up alot earlier and make you guys tell me where this O-club place is : P

I will be there this year too... bringing the Boy Scout Troop.  If you see me, I will be in uniform.  Stop and say hello... Or... if you see some of the scouts, ask them where their Scoutmaster is.  They will know where to find me.  They will most likely be in our Troop T-Shirts... Red with "Troop 493" on the front and back.
