We have had a mini-con in Dayton Ohio every year for the last 7.

At one time they were drawing 50-60 Aces High Pilots. That has dwindled down to a cool dozen, but hey, times are different.

It usually falls on the weekend of the Dayton International Air show. Which this year is...June 28th and 29th.

Last year we all took a Stearman ride.

you have been warned !
You likely see more snow there in April than in England any time of the year.
You get so drunk you will have problem finding the joystick, or the computer after some close acquaintance with local home brewed vodka, drunk directly from one of many 10 litre plastic containers everyone bring with them.

Yeah the attendance dropped off and with the work that NB and I out (not being local to Dallas was tough) makes it an iffy prospects. The guys from the 68th actually did the last one when we were just too darn busy to put it together again.
