Counting pennies, not looking good for this year either :cry
Have a great time guys, and if anyone has any doubts about going - in the words of the Nike advert - just do it. The hospitality of the Finns has to be seen to be believed.

Understandable, it would be $ 820/person from L.A. to Tampere and back. Would be nice to see you there, though. :salute

This is going to be fun! :cheers:
-
I could spend another 1k for Jokeri NOT joining. Or more.
-
Yay! Already at least nine people seemingly going to join! Eagerly waiting for a non-Finn first-timer to count him-/herself IN. Snef doesn't count, he's a regular. :cheers:
-

What other place you can see nekkid men diving on icy lake? Or sitting sweaty side by side in hot place called sauna while drinking nice cold beer. Top of that they all share same passion... Passion of flight sims, friendship and aviation :cool:
-
Yep, late night talks with hands twisting like windmills :D when people start to "show" how did they merge :airplane:
So, why not come and see it in "live"... it wont hurt too much :devil
-
óle!
-
That meeting isn´t really Ladies´Night :devil
All who dare, You are wellcome! :cheers:
-
Been waiting for this. Glad to see good ole friends once again - and perhaps, take a little nap on the keyboard as well! :aok
-
Good old QWERTY-cheek. :lol
-
Time to book your flights gents :aok
and come to have fun, memorable weekend with friendly Finns :banana:

Will the convention's attendees be making an appearance in an arena?
Evil con?

Most probably we'll be logged in all through the night, Alt+X to the stratosphere and beyond. Time will fly, men won't! At least not when you stop for a couple of words in the lobby on your way to the beer fridge... And again on your way back. You suddenly notice the beer can you just grabbed is empty, so off you go and get another. Just a couple of words more, and you'll hear the toilet calling. On your way back from the leak you take a can of kerosene for your flight. You go towards the flying room, stopping just to say hello to the guy who's going to the fridge...
Bah, you can play at home! The gaming gear is just an excuse to meet the boys! Hey, a mission? Where? Which arena? :joystick:
-
I'll be there
When will Registration open??? When, when when?

:aok
When will Registration open??? When, when when?
Next week.

Ahhh what I wouldn't give to hang out with this crowd! Have a wonderful time Sasmox :)
-
It's a fun time hanging with the Finns Roc, been twice, and gutted I can't make it for yet another year. Hopefully finances will allow further down the line.
Have fun guys, I'll even log in to defend some of your missions (by defend, I mean give easy kills flopping around the sky - like I usually do lol....)

Wurz
I hope we will meet again soon :cheers:
-
Ahhh what I wouldn't give to hang out with this crowd!
The answer is simple: Some money for the flight and a little less for accommodation. Take your own underwear, towels are on the house. Swimming in the lake is free. Welcome! :salute
-
Take your own underwear
Sasmox told me this was no longer a requirement, as no one wears clothes during this event :headscratch:
-
You're partially right, you don't need it in the sauna or outside while helping to build the human pyramid. You'd better yet wear some, in case OK comes and takes along his Bf109 and you'd like to borrow his jumpsuit for immersion.
-
Dear Sirs ROC and Wurzel,
unfortunately our budget is running a bit tight this year, so we can not sponsor any visitors from abroad. After the current Euro zone crisis has passed, we hope to be able to welcome you next year.
Friends from Denmark, you'll have to pay for your own trips.
This post is not in any way related to the Finnish Spring Meeting, this is my own post and the opinions stated in here are my own.
- The Panzer Division HQ
Wurzel, I hope to see you here next year - our son is talking and walking now, it's a long way from when you last saw him. I'm a proud daddy! :)
ROC, it would be great to see you here one year!
And you Demonish guys, it would be great to see you again.. oh wait, how do you spell "Danish" again? :bhead ;)
-
ROC, it would be great to see you here one year!
This falls into one of the very few items on my list of "Define a successful life".
The rest of them have already been met. Wonderful wife, stunning and brilliant daughter, humble but incredibly satisfying life. You and your friends over there have always been such a pleasure to interact with, it would be more than an honor to actually meet all in person. The few I have had the pleasure of seeing in person are among the fondest memories I keep.

Registration is open now!

I have registered myself in! :x :cheers:
-
In!
-
In!
And this time I WILL bring sandals - my feet just cant handle that awful cold snow when we are walking to and from the lake... :cry
-
WTG, Teufel!!! You are warmly wellcome to the shore of that icy lake :rock
-
Ahhh what I wouldn't give to hang out with this crowd!
...
Indeed! Attending the Spring Meeting in Finland has long been on my "Bucket List", too!
Kippis! :cheers:
-
Indeed! Attending the Spring Meeting in Finland has long been on my "Bucket List", too!
Take a plane to Tampere, someone will give you a ride from there. Act now, who knows next year may be too late. :salute
-
Once in a lifetime chance to see 10+ nekkid finnish (and hopefully some foreign) men in small sweaty place called sauna. Nothing beats that experience! :lol
Reserve your tickets now!
-
I wish I could there But I am only 14 years old So that sucks!!! But I would Like to Know the Minimum Age Of if there any Exceptions (my parent sure would not allow it :roflmfao :cheers: and :rock on you Guys
-
I wish I could go But I am only 14 so that SUCKS!! MY parent would not allow it and I was also wondering what the minimum age is and if they are any exeptions
you guy have fun there I :salute you and :rock on Buddies
-
Tracerfi, you're showing exceptionally good judgement concerning your age. The event certainly is for people who pay the bills of their life insurances.
How would you like a simultaneous 'Parental Accepted Rhode Island AH Spring Meeting'? There's still a month time to arrange one and we could meet your gang in the virtual skies. The basics are simple: Tables for computers, a decent Internet connection and a hub. Some "silent" corners for sleeping bags. :salute :rock
-
wut wut in my butt!?!
-
Naked human pyramid? eek! :uhoh
-
So far thirteen (13) participants have signed in. That makes two pyramids and a cameraman. :eek:
-
You got coffee and danish at this meeting? If so, I'll be there!
-
Things might be looking up, distinct possibility I could be there next year - even if only to toss Jokeri into the lake lol.........pay a thousand to ensure I'm not there indeed!!!
Wurz
-
You got coffee and danish at this meeting? If so, I'll be there!
Coffee, yes. Danish? Snefens and Teufel are Danes. Viennoiseries are available at every local market and conditory. Welcome.

Wurz

Yoo-Hoo! Only three weeks left! So far 14 participants have been registered. vafiii, your name wasn't on the list despite the coffee and danish. What's your favourite jam and what colour should the sugar striping be?

Safely home again. Thanks for all participants, had fun for all the money and more. Waiting for more pics and the date for the tenth Spring Meeting. :rock :salute

Whew. Back at home. When I stepped through home door I was instantly ordered feeding our offspring and so the reality hits you in the face with a smelly diaper.. I really wish the meet would have lasted longer :)
I put my hat into the washing machine , for the third time ... Had to. :D
Was really fun and I really hope I can make it again next year, I think I have to start requesting leave asap...
I hope Teeri and HKBlue will post those nice vids from our flights soon available to everyone.
Thanks guys!
BTW one set of black thinsulate glowes was found from my car. Snef or Zuum , you missing any?
-
What a fine weekend. If next meeting is even half as nice as this was, it would be great. Thanks to all who was there, even those virtually joined.
