Title: Unofficial 2013 Dayton Gathering Thread
Post by: Dragon on December 11, 2012, 03:20:27 PM
Although the date was previously set, the web page launched today with the proper information.

www.daytonairshow.com (http://www.daytonairshow.com)


I took the whole week off and weather permitting/god willing plan to be there Tuesday evening prior to the Air Show.


Mark your calendars people! Let's rock it out this year!

Dayton is always in my budget!

The Dayton gathering, for most, is an inexpensive vacation destination.  A tank or 2 in fuel, a few nights of camping fees and a few bucks donated to the ice kitty. 

The few that donate a ton of time, effort and money make it easy for the rest to enjoy.

OK, for the uninitiated, details please. I may be able to make the trip, only 8-hours away. So we drive up (Tennessee, Ohio is up), watch the airshow then a bunch of drunk AHers get together and swap manly stories about vulching, HOing and other ill gotten behavior? Sounds like fun to me. I can vent about lag and the massive radiator on the Dora.

Am I missing something?

You are missing a lot.  But you have to attend to understand.

I wanted to go to Bonaroo this year too, wasn't going to work out though.

Nef, that could work. Pittsburgh is about 6 hours for me. If it were to work out, when would you want me in Pittsburgh by? I've looked at bus fares, but it may be easier for me to just drive there.

We usually leave on Friday Morning and usually arrive in Dayton around lunch time. If we could meet you in Pittsburgh around Midday (1100AM to 200PM) We could make it in time for dinner :)

Last I heard, I'd say odds are better than not for the Thunderchickens to show, although maybe for just one day.  You can with some confidence though kiss the other (and arguabley cooler) AF demo teams goodbye for the year as all their F-22, A-10 and the other demo teams/squadrons (besides the Thunderbirds) are off the table for the rest of this year.  The Navy is in the same boat with the Blue Angels remaining their singular focus and the rest of their demo teams, although not deactivated, I have been seeing pulled from every schedule so far (this year and the end of last year) and most airshows seem to be one-day events atm for them.  The Marines (and maybe even to some extent the coast guard) might be our saviors with having no big demo team to fund or as many marine bases across the states, they have still been able to field static airfraft for their events and others, and last I heard their harrier, osprey and rotary demo teams are still active.

If you want them to keep flying, get in the gate at least once a year and please spend/drop just a dollar.

Wright Patterson is in a unique position, but they aren't the only act in the flying warbird circus.

Besides, only wimps aren't on the tarmac at an airshow everyday from sun up to sun down.

Exactly my thoughts, too, BJ!  I wish there was be a larger focus on the warbirds and the development of aerial combat.  The Tbirds, Blue Angels, and other teams are fun to watch, but would we have those teams if not for the warbirds?

Bad news Maddog:

"Until further notice, the U.S. Navy Blue Angels will not be practicing at NAS Pensacola."  :huh   :confused: 

 More news to follow soon I hope, but looks like they're tightening the belt.  I can only speculate what it could be at the moment, but I doubt it will be El Centro in the summer (even though they had vacant signs on outside a number of their hangars) - think 29-sticks but close enough to the gulf of CA to still get humid with a shift in the wind.

Quote
Climate
El Centro has a desert climate and is the southernmost desert city in the continental United States, with an elevation below sea level. El Centro has over 350 days of sunshine and under 3 inches (76 mm) of rain annually. Winter temperatures are in the mid 70s to mid 80s with over-night lows in the low 50s to mid 40s. During summer days, the dry, desert heat can push temperatures well into the 100s, while the nights stay in the low 80s to mid 70s. Average annual humidity is 24%

 :lol :rofl  :aok

Quote from: Wiki
Naval Air Station Pensacola or NAS Pensacola (IATA: NPA, ICAO: KNPA, FAA LID: NPA) (formerly NAS/KNAS until changed circa 1970 to allow Nassau International Airport, now Lynden Pindling International Airport to have IATA code NAS), "The Cradle of Naval Aviation" [/u], is a United States Navy base located next to Warrington, Florida, a community southwest of the Pensacola city limits. It is best known as the initial primary training base for all Navy, Marine and Coast Guard aviators and Naval Flight Officers[/u], the advanced training base for most Naval Flight Officers, and as the home base for the United States Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron, the precision-flying team known as the Blue Angels. It is currently a Superfund site.
^Just the first paragraph.

The day the skies go quiet over Pensacola is the day Florida has a 2'+ blizzard.

One state dinner < An entire season for the blues/thunders, but noooo...

Hello Blue Angel Fans,

The Navy has decided to cancel the remaining 2013 Blue Angel performances and practice demonstrations as a result of the current Defense policy, which states that outreach events can only be supported with local assets at no cost to the government.

Blue Angel pilots will continue to maintain minimum safe flying proficiency at Pensacola, Fla. These flights will be single s...orties and not open to the public.

The Blue Angels are disappointed in this decision but recognize this is one of many steps the Navy is taking to ensure resources are in place to support our forces operating forward now and those training to relieve them.

The team will continue to sign autographs at the National Naval Aviation Museum Wednesdays at 11:30 a.m. The Blue Angels team will also explore other community outreach activities near their home station of Naval Air Station Pensacola.

The Navy believes there is value in demonstrating the professionalism and capabilities of our Navy and Marine Corps team, thus inspiring future generations of Sailors and Marines. The Navy intends to continue aerial demonstration in the future when the budget situation permits.

Thank you for your support fans! We will keep you updated with any changes to our schedule.

-BAPA

Once again it's time for a party in Dayton!
Same Place as the last 3 years. Here's the Info. PM me here with questions.
This is NOT a KOA Campground or Public Facility. This is Private Land. (Check 2009 Gathering page 10 for pics)
It's called Great Miami Adventures.
http://www.greatmiami.net/
Located at 1995 Ross Rd. Tipp City, OH 45371
Sits right on the Great Miami River (Yes, he has Canoe's, Rafts ect. available.
He has plenty of room for several RV's and  4-5 50Amp services for those.
Tents can go just about anywhere you wanna set up.
Indoor Shower and Bathroom for those who just can't use a PortaPotty.
Multiple Fire Rings.
We'll have a Giant 150 Foot Water SlipNSlide setup for entertainment.
Swings into the River (he got a big hole dug out under it)
Fishing if you like (Bring your Pole)
I recommend Life Jackets if your playing in the water. (Some will be available)
Plenty of Tables and Chairs under Pole Tents (Bring your own Chairs if you want comfy)
Of Course there are plenty of Hotel/Motels close by for those not into Camping.
Camping will be 10 dollars a head per night.
Saturday Party goers only will be asked to contribute to the Campground ($10 a head is typical)
(Many bring Food, Beer, prizes, ect.)

This years Dates are July 6th - 8th 2011 (First Weekend in July)
This is basically an all weekend party with Airshow and Wright-Patt Air Museum close by.
Main Party is Saturday Night after the Airshow.

Hope all the past attendees will be coming back, you all really make it a true party (You know who you are)

Please respond with at least a simple Yes or No and total members in party so I can get a head count.


One step closer.  I talked to Chris, the campground owner, and had him put us on the calendar for the weekend of June 22-23.  I know it is still 2 months away but I'd like to know who is for sure going at this point and will get an Official post up in a couple weeks.

 :salute

ok, to simplify the confusion from SWchef, which is still confusing to him, even though I highlighted the problem in question where he was confusing to others, other than himself, the actual posted dates of the "Vectron Dayton Air Show" dates are really, actually, positively set for  June 22-23, 2013.

I and the wife-ack thrower will be camping out......again.

Uh, we plan on being there. It will depend on if the Cruise Ship gets lost, breaks down or sails without a hitch. She wants to go to the Bahama's first about 3 weeks prior to the gathering.

Well my friends, though I havent been playing in the past 6 or so mnths I may actually need to make it there this year since it is like 10 miles from me. Last year I got stuck working the medic there at the airshow and oh boy was that interesting with the insane heat they dropped like flies at the end of it at least nothing was to serious beyond dehydration.

Post by: bj229r on May 21, 2013, 03:54:49 PM
Yah....last 2 years it was like 100 degrees, few people even went to the show, just watched it from lounge chairs sitting in the river (whilst drinking' adult' beverages)

Not yet.  Keep your panties on. 

My place of employment bought a building a few miles away and the last few weeks have been prepping for the move which begins tomorrow morning.

Even with the moving company running 3 semi's it's going to take at least 2 days to move our inventory with us running 2 lift trucks at each location.  The office cubicles and stuff are going on separate box trucks and will probably take 4 or 5 trips.

Next week will be short and hectic but I hope to verify pricing with the campground, unless someone else wants to make that call. (Scott?)
