2014 Summer Forum Meet Up

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Good ideas everyone, I will leave this up for a few more weeks.

I am for something central as well. Oshkosh or Dayton. It is centrally located. That way east coasters would not have to head to the west coast, and west coasters would not have to head to the east coast. It just makes sense for costs and travel.

I'm lucky to be fairly flexible. Got lots of airline points and would consider any locale. Never been to Oshkosh and would welcome that.

Remember that with a Chino meetup, you can also do the March AFB museum tour and the USS Midway just down the coast. A trifecta of museums.

That sounds pretty cool.

I'm for central location or smaller regional meetings

I'm for central location or smaller regional meetings

I think a central meeting for many is much more practical. If a west coaster is too "Chino Snobby" to meet up in the central regions, then so be it.

I leave it up to what the majority of the forum membership wants though. I am flexible.

Virginia Beach used to be on my bucket list but not now. Maybe should see where the majority of Yagen's collection ends up.

I've actually thought about going up there this weekend. It's only 7 hours from my office and I'm free this weekend.

Duxford would be great for me and the flying out of there is good too

 

[Crimea_River]

There's a group of UK guys that go there almost regularly (Airframes, Geedee, Rochie, Rocketeer). This thread's for us colonials and most would have a hard time meeting overseas.

I could do Dayton or Oshkosh

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Me and Joe are working on flying up to Oshkosh together if anyone is interested in meeting up.

 

[Crimea_River]

Possibly. When is the show?

 

[T Bolt]

Thought I'd give this thread a bump. Anyone still up for a get together in Dayton? Some time this winter or spring would be good for me. Things get a bit too busy in the summer.

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

I would consider it.

 

[Crimea_River]

This winter or spring is out for me. Pretty busy at work right now.

First weekend in November is Wings Over Houston, this year is Vietnam. Collings foundation will have their F-4D and F-100F, there is to be A-1 and the CAF will have Texas Raiders and I think Fifi will show up but not sure. Ya'll come on down Houston way.

Did anyone meet you guys in Oshkosh?
Any plans for 2015? 8)

 

[vikingBerserker]

I am really going to try to hit the B of B next year.

Please do David !
I'm hoping to get interest from members to meet-up at Duxford in September, for the BoB 75th Anniversary Air Show. I'll be there, along with my mate Mick and almost certainly Karl, and possibly Jan, and no doubt Gary and Tony (Geedee and Rocketeer) will be lurking around too. I've mentioned it to Wojtek, and, if memory serves, I think Andy (CR) might also be interested.
It would be great if as many members as possible could get together, preferably for a couple of days, so that we Brits can show you around the IWM Duxford, as it's too busy to do so properly during the air show weekends.
