[RCjetdude]

I have always wanted to make it to Hodges field. I have heard good things about it.

Same weekend as Warbirds over Grapevine I believe.

HHAEFI is 11-13 Oct near Americus, GA. Wonder if there will be some MRC representation there this year?

Sorry to hear you're not gonna make it. However, family has got to come first. There will be other events.

Would love to come, but since I am pushing to get the B-17G ready for the 30th Anniversary at Bomber Field on the 19th of Sept, that would be cutting it too close and I would be too tired to make another trip!! LOL Have fun all, and be safe!!!

Great to hear you guys are coming seaviper and EDFjetpilot! Really looking forward to meeting you. I hope we have a great event!

Likewise!

Looking forward to meeting all you guys. Can't wait.



Planes are gonna ride in the overhead bunk area. I can fit the T-45 and the A-4 in there no problema.

I'm sure the planes will be comfortable.:)

I think I'm gonna travel "fast and light" and leave the trailer at home. So I'll squeeze my T-45/T1 Hawk conversion in the back seat of the truck. I seem to forget the wings do come off of these planes easily for back seat transport.

Look forward to flying with you.
