Care to share what "new hardware" that would be? Inquisitive "RT 66 Jets" club members want to know!

We should have Jason's big F-104 ready for prime time and a Classic Flash all decked out in Artic Camo Aggressor scheme. We may even resurrect our ME262 Clown Show. You know, ME262's with clowns flying them.

We plan to come early, fly often and have lots of fun.

Doing some planning for the event. Last year there was a hotel that had special rates for the event. I have slept since then but think it might have been the Holiday Inn Express. Is that correct and if so have you got anything negotiated with them or other hotels in town.
Thanks.

Thanks.
Important Host Hotel Update:

Name change: "Holiday Inn Express", old location, is now "Baymont Inn".

"Holiday Inn Express" has always been our host hotel for our reserved block of discounted rooms. That facility is now owned by "Baymont Inn". We WILL still be using the same location for our host hotel as always. "Holiday Inn Express" has built a new facility close by, but with higher rates.

Rates:

"Baymont Inn" reserved rate is $79 if staying at least two nights. You must mention "Route 66 Jets" to receive this rate.
1405 West Hudson Drive, Litchfield, IL 217-324-2500 http://www.baymontinns.com/hotels/il...hotel-overview

"Holiday Inn Express" rate us $107. 4 Thunderbird Circle, Litchfield, IL 217-324-4556 http://www.ihg.com/holidayinnexpress...es/hoteldetail

Again, we are using the same location, different ownership ("Baymont Inn").

I hope I can come. I am finding it harder to get more than an hour away from home with all the problems I have.
