Robert can you please send me all of your contact info in a pm?

I know its a trip for you. Andy with Jetwerx is attending, he gave us some nice pilot prizes last year. I hope you decide to join us. Ask Alpha 10 about the sight, you won't believe it until you see it with your own eyes.

It's incredible... Hands down the finest flying site I've seen, let alone been to. We can't wait to go back! :)

I'm headed down to SEFF to recruit some jet guys! I hope to meet you in a few days. I'll be flying a Yak 130 and F4 with Schubi power. Be sure to say hi.

Robert,

I'll be looking for ya...I don't expect anyone else there to have an F-4.

I'll have my compliment of FW EDFs...F-86, F-16(s) and T-45.

Will be good to meet you.

Do you know where the nearest Hilton property is, like a Hampton Inn? I have enough points to use . Also ,where's the nearest river crossing? I'm trying to pull this off. The weekend prior is Warbirds over Texas 9th&10th and we have a small club fun fly on the 11th

[Robert Belluomini]

I have a look in the AM for the nearest Hampton.

[Robert Belluomini]

There is a Hampton in clarksville, in or downtown louisville.

Bob,

Did you make it to SEFF? If you did, somehow we missed each other. And although I had a great time at SEFF, there just weren't enough EDFs there for my liking...so I decided I'm gonna make the 10 hour drive to the EDF Jet Jam.

Quick question: how's the grass at your field? As a grass ops pilot without brakes on my jets, I need a way to stop on landing. Figure I'll love taking off on pavement, but may feel more comfortable landing on grass.

Thanks,

Sean

Sean,
I was there on Thursday but had to turn around and head home. I too was disappointed with the number of jets. Our field is 800' x 50' smooth asphalt, with beautiful cut grass on each end.
Plus the grass on the far side of the hard surface is is 1200' x 110' wide grass runway so you will have absolutely zero issues. You will not be disappointed!

Outstanding! Another question for planning purposes: will you have any food vendors on site? I hate to leave the field for lunch/dinner so would like to know if I need to bring food out.

Thanks again,

One thing I would say about the grass is it's very thick. I wouldn't even think about landing out there with the gear down. Definitely a belly landing zone.

No shame in runway takeoffs and belly landings... I'll tell you that! ;)

We have lunch on site, most guys eat breakfest at the hotel. We typically fly until dark and then head into town to one of the local eateries.
For those staying on site I'd be more than happy to make a dougnut run each morning.

Robert

I have a Jepe F16 and an aeronaut Rafale that I have typically launched via bungee. Is there an area for bungee launching?? I am looking to fab a dolly for runway takeoff, but if I cant get one done I would need to bungee

[Robert Belluomini]

Plenty of room for Bungee launching and retrival. It will be great to see a JePe F16 flying!

Bob,

Sounds like a plan!

Regarding the block of rooms.
You have until JUNE 3rdto reserve a room at the event rate. I run two events and confused the cutoff date. So you still have plenty of time to book your room.

[Robert Belluomini]

Dahawk were you able to book a room at either of those Hampton Inns?

[EDFjetpilot]

Okay...booked the hotel and registered.

See ya all soon!

Sean

[Robert Belluomini]

Got your registration today, thanks for joining us.
