Coming from the obvious place on the left. What day, I don't know yet as I might be one of the people standing by the doors handing out RCU swag.
Anybody got any idea what the gas prices in Ohio? Man, the gas alone is going to kill my wallet![>:] Last year it was cheaper there than in Michigan, I should have filled up there instead of getting gas back on this side of the line.

Leaving in a couple of hours from south Louisiana; right at 1000 miles one way. We'll stop in Dayton and visit the Air Force museum before hitting the show Friday and Saturday.

I don't even want to think about what the gas is gonna cost... but what the heck? I used to drive to Columbus for the IRCHA Jamboree. This is my hobby; its all good.

I've got a 14 hr trip. My wife and I are leaving tomorrow after work and staying at her daughters place in the cities then the big 12 hr drive on Friday

Will do the show Saturday, stick around for dinner, then start the drive back to knock a few hours off it.

Gas is $2.15 and up at the moment. Some mom and pop shops are a little cheaper, but it seems they change almost hourly. It is sort of amusing because alot of the gas station's signs don't even have room to put a 2 to the left of the decimal point.

Whatever day that you go there, you'll find R/Cers at Tony Packo's. Whatever day that I go, I'll make a stop there before leaving town.
Dick, that really narrows it down! Me, I'll have on a RCU T-shirt and hat. Don't shoot until you find out which person it is![X(]

Save some money for the Cabela's store. Two years ago we hit the one in Dundee, MI on the way home from the show. I rarely use this word, awesome, but that place is! When you see a huge parking lot and tour buses pulling in with customers you know that it has to be the place to go!

Default RE: One day left before Toledo see you guy's there!!!!!!!!!

Not every hour but there will be a place for those of us that are taking pix, where exactly at on this site, I'm not sure yet. I'll be there early tomorrow morning by one of the doors handing out RCU swag bags. I'll be one of the few that will have the white RCU T-shirt and hat on, others will be wearing the black polo shirts. It's a one-day trip for me so tomorrow night I should have some pix posted somewhere.
Maybe I'll toss a few teaser shots in here.

Hey, give me a few minutes, I just got home! It's been a looooong day already, up before the alarm went off at 4:00 AM, on the road at 5:00. I got to Toledo at around 8:30, in time to meet up with some other moderators. I handed out RCU goodie bags for about 2 hours before going inside. Some really cool planes there, one a 747 with a Space Shuttle on top and a tractor pulling it. A HUGE GeeBee, some jets and old-timers but a lot of the show planes won't be there until tomorrow. You'll have to give me some time to upload the shots. We may have one place for just Toledo shots.
I was cool to meet a lot of the people from this site there. I did the stop over at Tony Packo's. It would be difficult to find a better staff of people anywhere. We didn't stop by Cabela's, the parking lot was stuffed as usual.
RCU did not have a booth there, we just stood our in front of 2 or 3 of the entrances handing out the bags. Plane Insane and Eric royer handles the main door by the ticket booth while I worked at another entrance for a while. We handed out like around 2,500 bags ( I don't know how many for sure but it did feel like that many). We started handing them out to people in line at the doors before they opened.

I don't know as that was as close as I got to it. I did see a big Gas twin inside the cowling but how big or what it was, I have no idea.
Let's see what else I have........
