Title: When was the last AH con?
Post by: Ripsnort on March 18, 2014, 10:11:35 PM: Just curious...been busy raising very conservative young men of whom one is off to college this fall and another behind him in 3 years.

I might have some time on my hands when the hatchlings leave the nest!

A little 2001 and 2003 cons mixed here.

I know there was a 2006 one (the only one I went to).

think it was 2006 or 2007, because I made plans the next year to go and there hasnt been any since then :furious :furious.

however every year some guys meet somewhere on the east coast, it's a pretty big gathering at an air show sometime during the summer, I believe.

Title: Re: When was the last AH con?
Post by: APDrone on March 19, 2014, 04:33:04 PM: I think 2010. I posted several pictures from there, but there was a different forum category for the AH Con and it doesn't appear to be visible anymore.

Maybe if somebody asked the board admin, nicely, to move those back in here, it could be searchable?

Skuzzy... pretty please?

I'm pretty sure it's funkedup. I could be wrong as well though. I think Fatty is the one sitting in the high chair in one of those pictures.
