Hi Dean,
The last two years that I have attended your event I have had a great time. You boys treat us out-of-towners really nice. That field you guys have had since 1965 has to be the best in the midwest.
You can plan on us boys from the Grand Island Modelers again.

Jim,
We were glad to have you there. Your big Fleet was a joy to see in the air, and we all enjoyed seeing how well you flew it. We'll look forward to seeing you again!
Best regards,
Dean

Hi Dean,
Brian Hole and Dale Locander from Arkansas Dawn patrol told me about your event and I am really looking forward to making a trip up to fly with you all. Your event is a week after our Warbirds over Tulsa even here at the Tulsa Gluedobber field. I like to invite you all down to make some dawn patrols with us. You can find a thread in this forum about our event and we'll have more info posted soon on the web site.

Hopper,
We'd be happy to have you join us for our Dawn Patrol. As Dale and Brian have probably already told you, we have a good time at this event and always try to take good care of our visitors who travel and stay overnight. And there's nothing quite like flying "dawn patrol" as the first pink glow of daybreak spreads across the Loess Hills. *grin*
I've heard good things about your event. If you will send me the hyperlink to your event webpage, I will forward it to the fellow who does our website so that he can add it to the "Out-of-Area Events" section of the local R/C flying calendar that he maintains online. Then everybody here will see it.
Best regards,
Dean in Omaha

Ran across your webpage and the Dawn Patrol for 2010 the other day and had already posted them at the OK Sooner Squadron website
www.oksoonersquadron.netfirms.com under the 'Out of state R/C clubs & events' page - and the - MVAA (Military & Vintage Aircraft Association) www.mvaaok.org website under the "Regional Warbirds events" page. Would appreciate it if you would consider letting your visitors know about our events as well... links or flyers can be found at either website. Always keep me updated when you guys have something new... and I'll get it posted on either website.

Meant to add in that last post... when you get a chance... visit either one of the websites OKSS or MVAA and double check me on the GPS code I posted to find your field. I try to nail it down so my visitors get the correct location information should they want to find any of the club/event fields I have listed. Since I haven't had a chance to personally be at your field as yet... and trying to find them with a Google map search can be difficult to get it right sometimes. If I got it wrong... set me straight if you would.

RE: Western Front Dawn Patrol 2010
Stan,
Thanks for the link on the OK Sooner Squadron website. We appreciate the assistance in publicizing our event.
I'll pass the info about your events on to our webmaster so he can add them to our regional website.
I'll also try to check the GPS coordinates, although that may not be easy for me without a GPS unit. I might just have to take your word for it!
The best way to find the field is still, "Take Interstate 29 to Exit 42, then follow the blaze orange "Dawn Patrol" signs."
Best regards,
Dean in Omaha

Not that anything like that could ever happen at an A.M.A.-sanctioned event...right, Brian?

Well, Larry was able to call the A.M.A. today and get confirmation of our sanction number (10-805), so it looks like we are an "official" A.M.A. sanctioned event again this year.
Whoo Hoo! Here we go again!
This is gonna be the best one yet, I can just feel it! [8D]

RE: Western Front Dawn Patrol 2010
Getting down to the "home stretch" now. Only 5 weeks to go!
We're hoping to see some of ya'll this year for the first time, as well as looking forward to seeing the return of old friends.
We have a special treat at this year's event. Author Tom Crean is planning to have a booth with copies of his new book, "Leutnant der Reserve Werner Voss and the Pilots of Jasta 10" at the event this year. I've seen the pre-printing manuscript copy of the book, and all I can say is "Wow!" Very thorough and complete, with unpublished photos and drawings. It's clear that this work represents years of research. Anyone interested in Voss, Jasta 10, or just WW1 aviation in general will be impressed. It's a great opportunity to pick up a signed copy directly from the author. Don't miss it!
Best regards,
Dean Dingman, Event Director

RE: Western Front Dawn Patrol 2010
Jay,
Looking forward to meeting you. Any idea of what time you'll be arriving at Cobras Field? "We'll throw another shrimp on the barbie!"
We're going to try to have the observation balloon up by early Friday afternoon (dependant on wind conditions) to make finding the field just that much easier. Otherwise just follow the orange "Dawn Patrol" signs after taking Exit 42 off of Interstate 29 just south of Council Bluffs.

Early arrivals and security are not an issue. There will be someone associated with the event present at the field continuously from Wednesday onwards, if not earlier.
Best regards,

Several of us will be there overnight, shotguns loaded, protecting the airbase.
