Lewis & staff,
You've outdone yourselves once again! You guys really know how to throw a party! Special thanks to the Virginia boys for putting up with us - those guys are gonna need quite a bit of therapy after last week.
Marvin - you da man - incredibly comfortable flight line with you in charge! Many pics to follow...
Smitty
PS Springfield Inn taking reservations, just booked mine. Been there for the past 5 years.

As has been said, thanks to Lewis and staff for a great event and thanks to Marvin (and the other flight line crew) for keeping the airplanes apart on the runway.
Smitty, you and Dano were a hoot as usual. Thanks to Bob-o and Scott for letting us use part of their space. See you guys next year!
A special thanks for Eric Clapp for the loaner to keep Louie flying. Great service as usual.
Booked a room at the Springfield Inn as well - boy I wish they would get new mattresses though!

Lewis, another great show! I don't know the final numbers of registered pilots, but numbers don't really matter. No drama at all with some of last years whiners and haters not there. My family enjoys every aspect of your show along with your hospitality and that of your staff. Thanks again for being are true friend and one helluva host!! Next year is already scheduled as one of our family trips - looking forward to another spectacular JOK !!!

This little guy right here deserves some recognition too. "Flying" Ryan Robertson. He flew with the top dogs and even got some laps on a Jack knife. Look forward to him joining us on the airshow circuit.

Some Random photos from JOK 2014.
This was my first time there and I was Blown Away by the entire event. The spirit of the vent and the HARD WORK and dedication of Lewis and his crew was awesome. Lewis are you sure your 67 years of age? I got tired watching you.
I'll see you guys next year.

This was our best Jets Over Kentucky ever! Everything was great! I'll comment more on that later with the closing remarks.
Slept 15 hours Sunday morning / Monday night.
RC Ken did an amazing job, don't miss the 2014 video. Information on ordering later.
Thanks,
