Looks like I will be going to this one instead of KY jets this year. Looking forward to it. I just got my Starfire II lined up today (four successful flights). The thing is a missle with a P-70. Fun jet. I had a strange pinhole blowout in one of the airlines though. I will post a pic of it.

Good to see your coming Andy. I am working to get my F-18F done.. I wanted to maden it on the fourth of july weekend down in Houston but it looks like It might be done in Shreveport on our weekend. When do you plan on coming down? What other jets are you bringing.. I would like to see your F-4 even if its not finished...

Hey Dave,

I can bring it if you want. It won't be ready but I have the gear mounted, and the ordnance. Looks pretty cool. I will bring the Boomer, the F-16 and the Starfire. Oh and the T-28 that I fished out of my neighbors tree this evening (DONT ASK!!). lol.

Speaking of T-28's, David R. lab (Riley) had to retrieve another one at Winamac. This time he brought back the whole plane in one trip.

Sure hope Riley knows what to do when David shoots a bird. He'll probably run out and look for something that is orange and white and has a prop.

Thats great Barry!

What do you folks think about the traditional imbound way of handling the radios?
With the growth in 2.4 will using a frequency board make it easy without causing a problem?

Winamac this weekend used the traditional honor system for th 72 Mhz guys which numbered probably less than 20%. Riley wll probably still remember to retrieve birds, he may be a little tired though next weekend. He is spending this weekend and the first part of next week with his new girlfriend!

Chuck, some are staying at the Jameson Inn Shreveport.

Call Dawn Ellzey and she can fix you up with a room.

Dawn, Midway Travel
972-264-4288
800-527-1630

Because of the casinos, sometimes rooms are hard to find on the weekends.

Everyone bring there t-28's and lets have some fun in the evening.

It's official, Riley will not attending Shreveport Jets. He has a girlfriend now and there is no way in hell he is going near that truck. So if we crash a T-28 we are on our own to retrieve it.

See ya Thursday evening, hopefully before dark

Ok.
Less than a week away and there is one thing I need to get a number on,
The dinner saturday night is included in the landing fee, and is 10.00 for non-flyers. I need to get a good number by friday night, so please let me know.

Thanks
Kevin
