RE: FL JETS who's going.
Be there Tuesday with a trailer load of Scott's planes. May have to strap a couple of planes to the roof of the trailer. GEEZ, a 32 foot trailer and its still not enough. :-)
To answer your on who's getting ready, working on it. Worked on a new Shockwave the past couple of days. Fitted it with electric retracts and a electric gear door actuator, now that is really cool. Works awesome.

RE: FL JETS who's going.
Hell yeah! I am getting into Miami the week before ( Pretty much straight from another event in Australia..... Do you think I am keen ? LOL ) The " Dream team" are all heading down to Mayhem park for a bit of " jets over the freeway" action. I hope to join them there.
Bob O.. Good work buddy. Tell Scott that one can be my Shockwave
Regards Al

RE: FL JETS who's going.
That is wierd, same with Top Gun. There are paved runways at clubs all over Florida not sure what the issue is.
I thought about going but I have to drive 20+ hours only to probably break my gears out of my way overweight jet and pathetic flying skills.
I do hear it is a nice grass runway though and well kept.
Have fun I plan to get out East for one of these this year, maybe Kentucky.

Greg: You are damn right. I haven't been to Fla. Jets for quite some time, but
Frank makes it worthwhile.
Maybe next year will attend it. This is an event to enjoy and relax; if not look
for another hobby.
E.N.T.

RE: FL JETS who's going.
The grass is great and if you break your gear its because of your lack of flying skills not the runway. A few years ago yes you could blame the runway but not now. The grass is in perfect shape and it has been a warm winter down here so the grass should be even better.
Looking at Dustins site you can see some of the people making the trip.

RE: FL JETS who's going.
Sure I could buy that, my skills do need some work. I do have a 30 lbs 1/8th scale f-16. A heavy little beast. Landing perfectly on grass would probably still rip them out. Three are people from my area that go to Top Gun, is it the same runway? I hear it is very good.
Sorry didnt mean to sound like I was moaning. I guess I am just trying to talk myself out of the drive
Greg I think I met you at Litchfield last year, those jets look familiar.
Have fun!

Agree, RWY 18R ar DFW may not be hard enough for that!
But I think Guillermo's still holds the record @31 lbs.
