You might have trouble finding a room in Culpeper area,  Manassas might be the better spot for lodging. Dulles would be closest to the museum.

Holooiday inn express i  manassas still has rooms left.  better hurry though.

I spoke with the DOO at Culpeper Airport, they will be letting people into the parking lot and was kind of sketchy on and not really helpful on plans to let people into it. She directed me to the Flyover directly and I have emailed them, and will follow up with a call.

I plan on attending this. I will be attending with several of my family members. If you would like to join us we will get breakfast at the Panera Bread in Culpeper at 9-10AM or so.

I have also noticed Aircraft Rides being scheduled at Manassas and Culpeper, I am probably going to purchase a ride on Aluminum Overcast on Friday or Saturday.

If you are interested in that, would love to ride with ya, PM me and we can schedule a ride together!

I will also attend any gathering at Dulles on Saturday, from 10AM to 200PM as they will have several of the flyover aircraft there parked.

If you are going to this, time to plan it out. <S>

Thanks for following up on this Nef. 

I will meet you at the airport in culpeper.  You can find me because I will be wearing my Combat Challenge shirt

The flyover website has a map of where to view in DC.

Can't make it.

I did used to work at Dulles Aviation.

We had a remote flight school counter in the colgan building and I ran the unicom from there.

I may try to make it for a short bit.  I have some work I need to do, but may be able to delay it for an hour or so.  We'll chat at Culpeper.

Dengit!  So CLOSE!  Just getting in from work, even if I hadn't already done double shift driving duties today, and got right on the road, I wouldn't be much company from sleep deprivation.

Actually, my fear is much worse of not being able to stay awake or alert enough not to drive in heavy traffic.  To all that attend, have a great day.

Hey Redtail, as promised


Here are a few more


The Yak just didn't participate in the flyover, but was there with the CAF group, thought it was cool




Finally, at the end of the day I got escorted access to the flight line, and had a chance to help out the CAF guy point an FG-1D onto the taxi way.  I got close, real close... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwdTHATWfcw
