Hey Jerry do you know if there is an "event rate" at any of the Baymont or other local hotels?

Yes, there is an event rate at Baymont Inn. Call their front desk & mention "RT 66 Jets". Holiday Inn Express may offer one also if you mention it's an airport event, but they're more expensive.

Goose, good to hear you'll be on site for the Fri. & Sat. dinners & pilot ceremony. I remember you had to leave early last year. Have lots of goodies for the pilots this year. We can probably work something out with a hangar. 100LL available on site. Toss something in to fly. We can loan you a fire extinguisher, etc., if that would help.

Wow what a great event. Perfect weather, non stop flying and great fellowship.
Special thanks to Jerry and Ron for all their hard work putting the event on. Also a huge thanks to Jim and the Litchfield Airport. And the Food, couldn't have been better. Keith & Sherill Yates, thank you so much for dinner Friday and Sat Evenings. Also thanks to all the vendors for your support.

Is it too early to sign up for next year?

Thanks Again, Ken, Jason and David.
