Should we try to set up a "debrief" at one of the hotels like we did a few years back?
I have some Tailhook Ales that I could bring.

Lobby of Holiday Inn Express on I 94 service road has been where we
have met the last 3 years in the evenings. Many have got together and
gone to dinner from there first. It's close to the show.
But beware, tall tales and drinking have been reported.

I agree Bill, the Holiday Inn is a good meeting place. How about 7 PM Friday and Saturday nights? The Lone Star is not far away and can accomodate larger groups when needed. If however someone else has another suggestion for dining please suggest.

I think that is where I'm staying but I need to confirm that with Roger.
Maybe I'll need to pack a bit more beer for the weekend.

We are at TOM and we had a great day at Hangar 2 for some arrivals. Hung out with a great bunch of folks and got some nice pictures. I may get into this arrival day stuff. I was the guy with the Diamond Lil shirt and another sites hat.

Had a great time and enjoyed hanging out with everyone!

Tim, I am now out of "lurk mode".
WOW! Awesome photos! Especially of the 2 B-24s. Glad they did manage to get them to fly together on Sunday.
Also, it was a real pleasure to meet you and the rest of the WIX gang and WIX wives Saturday night at the Holiday Inn. Now I know what a great and knowledgeable bunch you all are. And now I know what you all look like which will prevent me from going up to a table full of strange guys and announce to them that I'm a "WIX Lurker".

Yes, you should've seen the looks on their faces. My friends and I are still laughing over that one! I'll never live it down
Here's to you all

It is always a pleasure to meet up more WIX members. I'm glad you came over to the Debrief with Todd and the gang.
I have to say that I'm looking forward to next year's show, I hope I can make that also.
