Dave,

Had a great time Sat, little west crosswind, but not too bad.
Sat evening was awsome, your F-22's maiden flight was sensational.
That looks to be a great flying jet. You did a fantastic job on it.

Checkout that cool runway, 3200 feet.

Good food Sat night too, you're a great host.

Pete

Thanks Pete! Glad you could make it.

Plans are set for 2009, third weekend in August to do it again, Thursday -Sunday. Thanks to everyone that made it and I hope everyone had a good time and safe trip home.
Anne and I hope the Saturday evening festivities went well and would love feedback if we can improve!

Should have some pics and videos over the next few days.

Sorry we didn't make it down. I had surgery on Wed. and it was kind of up in the air if I would feel good enough to drive down. I ended up watching Don pylon race all day Saturday. I'm glad your planning on next year. I've got the Banidt ARF underway in the basement so I be there next year if the Bandit gods are willing.

Here are some photos from the [link=http://www.uffda-photo.com/2008/rushford/index.htm]2008 Minnesota Jet Rally[/link] . Thank you Dave for putting this together, and for the food on Saturday night. Thanks to everyone who flew, I just wish I could have spent more time there. Looking forward to next year.

Some videos to come later.

Question: Who had this jet at the rally?
http://www.uffda-photo.com/2008/rush...GP0179_jpg.htm
He was going to contact me, but I have not heard, so I am trying to get in contact with him. Thanks

His name was Jerry, don't remember his last name.
He came up from Missouri with Lance Campbell.
Great looking Kingcat.

OK, time to gear up for the Minnesota Jet Rally 2009!

August 13-16th, 2009 - Rushford Municipal Airport (airnav.com, 55Y), the SouthEast corner of MN in the Root River Valley.

Come fly, relax, eat, fly...IF YOU THINK YOU MIGHT COME - CHIME IN, I'd like to pencil in a few things.
I am hoping that we can increase the number of pilots and jets this year! If you have been thinking about coming, make 2009 the year!

This is a free event!
Beautiful N-S runway with flying until sunset.
Dinner (Famous Dave's BBQ) Sat night with bonfire

(4.5 hrs from Chicago; 1.5-2 hrs from Minneapolis St Paul; 3.0-3.5 hrs from Des Moines)
Vid and pictures from last year: http://www.uffda-photo.com/2008/rushford/index.htm

From some replys, it seems we are off to at least a few more people than last year so it should be great!
Did I mention the Hooters girls are coming?

Might be time to start a new thread... Just a thought. Others seeing this pop up in the list of threads may think it is referencing the previous years rally.

Regards,

Glad to hear it!

Can you remind me of the place that you stayed?

I am going to add a new thread for Minnesota Jet Rally 2009, but will check this one as well.
