Just found out that the Comfort Inn in Navarre where a number of us stayed last year has been changed to a Days Inn. Rooms are $72 a night.

Will we be able to setup on Thursday afternoon?

Talked to a couple of flyers and they want to meet at Cocodries Thursday evening. Maybe Eric will buy the bread again this year[X(]

The earliest we will be allowed to set up is 5:30pm on Thursday, due to the Navy using the field prior to our arrival. As we get closer to the date of the event, I will see if we can set up any earlier, but for now its 5:30pm.

In case anyone is needing a room, there is a brand new Hampton Inn about the same distance, I don't know the rate.

Okay, I am now in on this thing. [8D] I plan to show up (probably half-dead from driving [:@] ) at the Days Inn - Navarre, Thursday nite. Someone bring the nice weather. Bob-O, I'll pitch in on the tent if there is space.

Glad to hear you are going to make it. Meet us at Cocodries Thursday evening about 3 miles from hotel.

Enjoyed Waco yesterday but too windy today left about 2. Only two jet flights today.

I got a room already, so I think I'm set Barry. Just a matter now who I'm bringing with - Topcat, or Reaction. [8D] T-28s also seem appropriate at a NAS. I'll check out the restaurant if its not too late.

Rob,
Do you have a website, or can you email me the hotel list and directions to the field. We plan on arriving Friday night for Saturday flying.

Default RE: Pensacola Jets 2008

I have a question for you guys attending the event. I am local to the flying area in Gulf Breeze, FL and would like to get my turbine waiver if I can. I am wondering what the process would be and who I might need to contact to help set this up or if it is even possible. I do not currently have a turbine jet and only have a Warbird to demonstrate my flying ability. I have had two jets, Tam's F-16 and a Eurosport, but was unable to finish due to lack of funds at the time. My wife has finished school and jets are more feasable and realistic now. Any help or pointing in the right direction would be great. I am in the process of hopefully purchasing a Yellow F-15, but will not have it ready to go by the event. My contact info is 850-525-8012 (cell) and additionally if anybody needs any info about the area or help please let me know. Thanks and take care.

Hey Bob,

We are adding a button to the website, you can pay for tents from there.

Well just a little over four weeks till Pensacola jets.

I'm ready, registration paid, 20X40 tent ordered and paid for. BTW Rob, mailed the additional $$ for bigger tent today. There will be at 7 in the tent maybe 8.

Now it's just a waiting game.

Tom, tell Jane I may have a couple of pounds of pecans for her. My biggest pecan tree went toes up or should I say roots up[:@]. I can taste those CC cookies now[sm=tongue_smile.gif].

Who else is coming
