Who is going to this show and does anybody have a place I can crash or wants to split a motel room?

I will be there and I'm pretty sure my wife will be coming this year as well. We are good freinds with Jim and Tina Church so the girls can hang together.

I usually stay at the Hampton Inn or Holiday Inn Express near the airport. Rooms are around $100 so you can find cheaper or share a room.

I still feel bad about last year when Mike came looking for me at the hotel and I was still at the airport shooting the evening shot of the F2G. My dad will not be coming this year as I half killed him last year. By Sunday morning he was pleading to go and that is not like him. The heat and very long days at the field did him in. I told him I was getting him back from when I was a kid and he draged me to the shows :D

Catherine and I will be coming to the show. We are both looking forward to YAFM announcing the symposium speakers. Apparently they are confirming the attendance of their speakers now.

Eric... Don't worry about the F2G thing. If I had an opportunity like you did, I would be doing the same thing!

Mike

I'm going to be there! :) I'll be one of the guys wearing a purple shirt looking all official. 8)

Looking forward to seeing everybody at Willow Run again this year! We plan on making the official announcement of the Symposium guests in a week or two.

Unless you're planning on going into downtown Detroit, you can probably leave the guns at home. :lol: I know, I know...I'm no fun! :P

Guys,
Spoke with Pauil Draper yesterday (he's been assisting me with some work on Dave Tinker's TBM) about the WIX set up at Willow Run. Hopefully we will have our own little 'challet' area next to the media/performer's tent on the flight line, possibly with seats. I suggested perhaps he come up with some sort of downloadable/printable sheet he could e-mail to those requesting it as a sort of 'ticket' to get into the tent. Thoughts anyone? It's only three months away.... is everyone getting excited yet? Jim

Scraper - you better explain the meaning of the purple shirt or people might get the wrong idea :)

That's Mr. Scraper to you buddy! And you of all people, I would expect to know the colors used on a USN carrier flight deck. So, that makes me your friendly fuel guy.

That and purple is sooooo my color. :roll:
