I really need this trip...

[Grossman56]

It's about a 2300 mile trip for me!!

Last day of work complete, I'm now officially on Vacation!!

Sounds like the party begins on Thursday!

[Mad Baron]

Its about a 400 mile trip for me. I plan on leaving Thursday morning should get there sometime in the afternoon. Did some more work on my trailer getting the interior set up to carry my Squadron!

[Grossman56]

Dang rights I am!

I agree CB, a field like that literally out your back door, I'd kill to be a couple of hours away from Muncie.

Grossman56

[TiredIronGRB]

They Grossman are you going to NEFI :Silly:

[OV10]

I'm a day away ;)@ 600 miles. What amazes me are the ones that are only a couple hours and couldn't be bothered :(

[Grossman56]

About this time next week. here's what I'll be seeing....


Come on fence sitters, especially those who are only a day away!
Come party with the people:Cool:
Hang with the gang;)

Fly with the guys!!

You'll love it!!

[Grossman56]

So, that's Thursday done, one more day of work...……..
Then its pack up time for Nefi, I can hardly believe its been over a year since the last blast, can't wait to see all of you and the new projects you're bringing!!

I guess you could measure time in new planes built over the Winter!

Grossman56

[Grossman56]

Yep, there was a lot of money taxiing around there!

I was hoping to see it fly, but I can't blame the guy…

Love the Comic Book, Team Gross! We were the only ones that hung around Sunday as rain was predicted, and they got it right :Crying:,
however, we did get some flights in. And got to see the turbine powered sport jet a guy brought out. He didn’t maiden it, he just taxied around trying to adjust the brakes. That was cool as there was a lot of assembly and preparation and it was all new to me. :Thinking:

[Twowingtj]

That's great Dan!:Cool:

[Mad Baron]

Just little over a week to go! I am planning on getting there Thursday afternoon. Haven't had much of a chance to fly here lately which will change when I get to NEFI!:Cool::182

[Grossman56]

Hey!
We've got to get some excitement going here, so....
I present to you the first...…

NEFI COMIC BOOK!!!!



Hey I was bored!!!

Grossman56

[Grossman56]

So, whats the forecast look like now CB??

Grossman56

[RCjetdude]

George and I should be there mid-day Thursday. I hope the weather is good.

[Lon]

I'm counting the days now too...Had registered and hotel reservations last year, to make it year number two for attending. But health issues made me miss last year. Anxious to see people from two years ago, and make new ones this year.
Planning on arriving Thursday afternoon...trailer in tow.

[OV10]

Just have Diane read post #12 and she'll know how Boots and I feel. ;)
ps.......nice encapsulation of some of the prior event activities :Cool:

[Grossman56]

That's two days down and three to go, then I'm on Vacation!!
Will head for Nefi on Monday morning, first stop is Cheyenne, Wy, then to Waco Nebraska, Dayton Ohio, then Muncie. A long haul but what a place to fly!
Now, let us refresh. Everyone who has been there has seen the result of the Nefi Triangle, so beware. Also, somewhere out on that huge acreage, are the remains of Boots Whirlygigs long lost plane from last year. I half expect to see it fly in at some point, like the Flight of the Phoenix!
Strange things happen at the East end of that runway, P-47s collide, P-40's inexplicably dive onto the ground, airplanes disappear and that was just last year!
Lets all hope for no monsoons:Rainning: or bad winds in the middle of the night, rumor has it that one came up last year and blew Mike and Val all the way back home! They were gone in the morning and we thought they'd landed in Oz or somewhere over the rainbow at least.
One thing I've got to try to do when there is meet Chris Savage, I never see him there but he shows up in the pictures like some kind of ghost :Ghost:, so if anyone sees him running around, let me know...….
Also, keep an eye out for Pilot Ryan sneaking around,:Ninja: just out of the limelight, I can't believe that he of all people, can't be in two places at one time ;)
Maybe, Tom or Mark will finally make Nefi !?! :Cool:
And just maybe there will be a big announcement on that long awaited OV-10 :pop

But if not, there's at least a guarantee of great people and lots of good times and great memories:bluelove
Hopefully lots of :Sun:, great :Win: :Gift:'s, a lot of :f18:f16:ov10:a10:f4phantom:corsair:p51:p38:spitfi re:p40:bf109.

BTW, and not in any way to toot my own horn for having such great taste in Women,
But Diane will be there to ensure that it is once again, well documented, do me a favor and let her know how much you appreciate her hard work, she honestly doesn't realize how much it's appreciated!
(Don't tell her I said that!!)

[Grossman56]

Heck MB, we've got a shower on the side of the trailer too if you're desperate!!LOLLOL

[RCjetdude]

Crowded?

Re-phrase... No line at the door waiting to get in.
