Hi!

I've been playing with this idea for a while, what I want to do is set up a WIX day at our place at the airport, and have you guys come over to check the birds and have a BBQ.

What do you think?

We could stage it next year or this one, close to some bigger event as to attract more folks.

Sounds like a great idea. The summer is booked up for me, and my honey-do list isn't getting any shorter. Perhaps sometime in September?

How far are you from Montreal?

Depending on when it is (I'm tied up through at least mid-Sept.) I'd be interested in attending.

The airport is about 30 minutes from Montréal, to the North-East.

Keep 'em coming.

As we have loads of room, we could arrange for something truly worthwhile, like having film projections or the such.

:wink:

Hey, Ollie mid to late September should work for me. Even early October would be nice. Great lighting and fall colours.

Heh, very funny :D

Actually I played it safe and my first ride will be in a B-24 or B-17. I should be able to fit in one of those ;)
