Evening, all
First off, abject apologies to all for being offline for far too long - been a way too busy month on stuff not remotely Dawn Patrol related . . .
I'll go back and address specific questions in a moment, but first off, here's the stuff you've all been waiting for. We now have all the forms on this year's event on the Air Force Museum's website (we were the stragglers) - located at:
http://www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/fac...t.asp?id=21413
Three forms for the R/C Participants are the R/C Registration Form:

Hotels and rental car info:

(Note that the magic word is "Dawn Patrol" when asking about rates, even if the hotel is specifically mentioned).
And there are a few other links on the Museum's website showing maps to the venue and such.

Couple more links for funsies.
The Museum has released a "teaser" video of the event up on YouTube:

And if you're real alert, you'll notice an R/C plane or two at the 0:24 mark!! As well as a half-scale Fokker doing it's thing at the end prior to the closing credits.
Myself, I'm biased towards a little video produced by the pride of the Hoosier Dawn Patrol, Sir Percy himself - the 2009 Dawn Patrol Rendezvous "Review of the Threes":

This one gives a little taste of the flying site (and towards the end, why we're excited to be moving a bit stage left away from the trenches!!).
Again, sorry for the delay in getting all this out - we'll try and keep everyone up to speed here on out.
Very best regards,
Lee McDuffee
