<S> All, THIS IS A PRELIMINARY POST TO GAGE INTEREST!!!
The 49thFG would like to cordially invite ALL current & former AH players to attend our "Summer in the South 2016" event. Recently there has been a great interest within the 49thFG for our squad to get together and, "commune", in person. However, the level of interest was so overwhelming that we decided to invite everyone in the AH community that can make the trip! This event will be held on July 9th & 10th, with the expectation that most everyone will arrive the evening of Friday, July 8th. Please, realize that we have NEVER done this before and that this is still in a VERY preliminary phase of planning. Venues have been inquired upon, and finding outlets for entertainment are varied in this region. We are obviously trying to keep the costs to a minimum, while taking the FUN & entertainment to a maximum.
This event will be held in "The Heart of Dixie", The GREAT STATE of ALABAMA!!! The city will either be Huntsville, which has an international airport for you to fly in to, or in Guntersville, (about 40 minutes drive from Huntsville). If you read this and then go look for flights to Huntsville, please know that it would most likely be much cheaper to fly in to Birmingham, Alabama, or Nashville, Tennessee and then rent a car to Huntsville for the weekend.
We, the 49ers, are looking to cram as much fun & entertainment into one weekend as is humanly possible! If you are interested please reply to this post so that we may better gauge the community interest in this event. Expect more threads concerning this topic as we iron out the details of this highly anticipated extravaganza.

I'm from North Carolina myself, and I'd be interested in attending!
-
Well both of those towns have an airport I can land my plane. If the date comes around and I don't have any plans, I might make a cameo.

Hmmm, very interesting. :noid Not too far from Pensacola. Me and my alter ego's might have an interest in crashing the party.
-
I used to go to Guntersville to install and sercice several MRIs.
Maybe I'm wrong but isn't there a small airpot between Guntersville and
Huntsville that houses a WW1 era museum including WWI aircraft?

Yes there is and we are looking into contacting that place to maybe arrange rides in some of those WW I aircraft that weekend, trying to work out a deal.........more to follow

Well my plane isn't vintage but if you weigh 200 lbs or less and aren't claustrophobic, I can give rides if I make it up there. (Pants are required)
-
I believe I know the plane you speak of mak. the red and white one correct?
-
Yep. It's red and white.
-
I'm in Gulfport, ms. That's a 6 hour drive give or take from me.. I should be able to make it.
I'll be driving as $60 in gas is cheaper than a $800 plane ticket :rofl

We could car pool as we live in somewhat close proximity.
And I know there's another ah member that I believe lives here in Biloxi down the high way 15 minute

I hear that the pants rule was the result of one unfortunate summer incident wherein a spatula was required to separate a passenger from the seat.

was that tongs`s mate?

The true story is that the control stick for the plane was mistaken for the "other stick" and, due to similar placement and exuberance both provide, almost resulted in disaster.

:rofl
:aok
-
This is in need of a bump. I'm still possibly thinking of crashing the party. :rofl

Hit me up. I go to Biloxi somewhat often as well as Gulfport.

Sent email, but again...any idea on a date? Several of my guys are within driving distance and have no problem buying air line tickets for the rest. I think this would be great fun. This community is pretty much my family, yes, even you 49'ers lol. Sure do like killing you boys...but think I can curb that addiction for a day or so...maybe! I really need a date though, or at least a semi date, to get an idea on flight fares. Personally, I would be willing to at least pitch in for anyone contemplating on going! With in reasonable limits of coarse. Well for flight costs anyway!!! Bar tabs...maybe, for non- 49'ers lol

Very pretty, Colonel, very pretty.
Don't be fooled, though. Our Saratoga ate a valve not long after the overhaul. At 4500 feet. In IMC. Fortunately it was not far from Atlantic City's airport.

Still waiting to see if it will be a 2 dayer or just 1, that's on our part, I saw both dates lol I am actually excited about this! Gives me a great reason to get off my arse and commune with my brothers. I do believe it would do me good as I am having motivation issues lately :rock
