Raubie, I nearly made it back at the 1st Con, but since I've moved countries/jobs twice in the last 3 years... made it hard :(

If I manage to stack up dosh till I get there... you best prepare that keg :D

Grapevine is a little South West of Lewisville, actually the hotel that it will be held at is just North of DFW airport. So close you could almost walk to it from the airport, though if your flying in from the North don't try to walk there cause you'll melt.  :D

That's the weekend of my Member-Guest Golf Tourny:(

How many cases of Scotch and expensive jewelry trinkets will it take to get the dates changed?

Here is a link to some pictures from the Air Warrior Con 2000 that I hosted in Indianapolis, IN during July.

http://www.327th.com/AWCON2K.htm

We had 170 AW Pilots show up + 50 spouses. They came from many states - a lot were able to DRIVE to the con as far as the east coast. We had 2 pilots from Germany, 1 From England and several from Cananda.

We had 3 rows of tables with seating on both sides for the pilots and thier PC's. We had 100+ PC's hooked up to the internet !

We had 220 at the Banquet Dinner.

We had Clarence "Bud" Anderson as out guest speaker - 16+ kills.

We had Lee Jacobs a B17 pilot and his Tail gunner BUCK as special guest.

We had Earl a P39 WWII Pilot and AW Pilot as a Special Guest.

the only thing missing was an Air show - but we were able to send a bus load of pilots to the WPAFB Museum.

We also had a Golf tournament and other side events such as Go-Cart Racing.

This was the biggest and most attended AW CON ever.

With the numbers now flying in AH there is not reason why 100, 125, 150 AH Pilots can't attend.

GOOD LUCK !

Mike "DmdJordi" Bowman

We also had a 2 hour round table discussion with ( LEft to Right )

Lee, Buck, Bob Shaw, Me ( Jordi ) , Earl, Bud Anderson

It was standing room only with 100 guys asking questions and soaking in all the grat stories !




My favorite story was Buck the B17 gunner talking about seeing a 109 some from above to below - he fired on instinct and hit a plane - not the 109 but the P51 CHASING Him through the bomber formation !

I'll definitely try to make this one.

August heat?

You should've beent there in July of '80. I think that's still the record.

However, most of my days were spent in air conditioned simulators.

AFAIK, the bars, hotels and cars are fully air conditioned in the DFW metroplex.

You pasty skinned AH junkies have nothing to worry about except that you may not get enough sun.  ;)

Start saving now!

I'll be there again. Early August in Minnesota can be just as hot & humid as it is in Northen Texas, so no problem for me. Ghosth is going to drive down from Fargo, then we're on our way to the con.

The con is guaranteed the most fun you'll have in Aces High. No whining and no cranky BBS posters to ruin the fun.

That Hotel is awesome. The rooms are huge, and the rates are excellent if you have roommates to help offset the cost. There is also some huge freeking computer warehouse somewhere in Dallas that MarkAT brought me to last year. It's the perfect shopping place to upgrade your computer. I'm sure one of the locals would take you there.

Thanks for putting the con in August, now maybe I won't have a cold this year like I did at last year's con! :)

Start saving now, guys. It's worth every penny, and if you drive it's not as expensive, depending where you live. I spent about $600 total, including the con registration fee, driving expenses and buying beer for Verm(he's such a lush!! :D). But  then again I had my own hotel room, so I could've gotten by for much cheaper if I would've had some roomies.  I would say have $300 stocked away for the con, not including airfare or gas if you drive.

I was planning to attend the CON this year. While I like you moving it up beginning of August is a little rough for me. So I will have my fingers crossed that you guys run it instead after August 17 .. late August or August / September instead.

But if I have too I guess I will start moving things around to try to make it whenever you have it.
