I'll be there with "The Bulldozer" and my wife will even be joining me Friday evening and through the weekend.

No GyRonimo this year. Not enough room on the trailer.

Hay Robert are you bringing your bird? I promised you a little tour in the backyard two years ago.

Cant wait to go. My airline ticket is bought...flying down late wed afternoon into Orlando...meeting up with John Rountree and Dave Bacon...should be pulling in wed evening to Wauchula.

Sounds like its going to be another winner. Gabor is flying in with a 269, we have rotorcraft judging....spot landing contests...thrust tests...cluster cluck egg drop.....and all the air you can beat to submission.

Unhappy

Won't be making it this year.

Hopefully it will be warm enough up here so at least I can get some flying in.

The rest of you guys. Have fun.

I am planning on it, even if I don't get the gyro all sorted out by then!
I might have some goodies to sell.

I'll be there. Hopefully the camper will make it in one piece this year. I may throw a sheet of plywood in it just so I'll be prepared to make emergency repairs along the way.

If you are not flying it is because you are dragging your feet.
