That ain't no lie !!! But I think it's the trailer that's gonna need to be bigger !! We haven't figured that part out yet... You have heard the phrase " Build it, they will come " , well we're kinda in that same mindset, build it, then we'll figure out how to get it somewhere.... We'll make it fit !!, I got a tub of grease and a big hammer and pry bar !!!

Several hotels, restaurants and gas stations are at the main Clinton, MS exit #36 on interstate 20. The exit to the airport is 1 mile west of this exit called the Natchez Trace exit then 4 miles south to airport road. If you need hotel help, call Dawn at post #1 of this thread. Or call me , Vernon 601-955-3826.

I'm bringing a few machine guns. ... not to shoot at the field lol. But maybe we can find a place close to dump a few hundred rounds if the weather isn't cooperating.

ViperJet XXL update: Our missing tail section box has been found and is now in transit via UPS and should arrive here Thursday..We are still on track to have her finished and bring to the event. This of course is predicated on the hopes that the nut job on the loose over here doesn't switch from FedEx to UPS and our box gets blown up somewhere along the line... LOL .. As Bob Price would say... " UNBELIEVABLE !!! "

Excited to get to see the big boy jet live and in person. Also, since you are interested in the potato gun, does that mean you are in on the bidding that Saturday night? I've decided on a medium metallic blue since I still have some paint.

Is there anyone that might be able to get a jet from MS to Top Gun the week after MS? Just need to get it from MS to FL. Let me know. Thanks! Looking forward to Afterburner. It'll be the first time for me.

Been gone several days with my wife to MD Anderson in Houston for her follow-ups. Got a good report so I'm having a very good day. Now to get back on concentrating on Mississippi Afterburner. Potato gun is painted. About to start making ice cream and of course, taste sampling. Will start getting supplies for cobblers when i get back from Houston Jets next week. Reserved 200lbs of mudbugs with corn, potatoes and sausage. Gotten several great items for the auction. Call me with any special requests 601-955-3826. Within reason of course.
