Its interesting to see the other perspective. From the pictures, it looked great - lots of stuff to see and oggle over.
We don't have anything like that over here - at least not to that scale just for jets, so it looked fantastic from that perspective.
On the other hand, over here, we drive long distances for events all the time, so 14 hours in a car is par for the course for us. Of course, if the roads are crowded, it is annoying, but the roads over here are always crowded. I'm leaving next week for a jet event in Georgia and it will be 10+ hours and right through rush hour in Atlanta Georgia - NBD. A lot of guys coming will have traveled longer/farther. When its 3000 miles from one side to the other, its just how you have to roll...
