You know what kind of an airplane I could put together for a trip like that from Las Vegas? Gas prices, the way they are. You don't need airplane sponsors for that kind of trip. You'd need Exxon, Shell or Texaco. It would also help if you got a little GM or Ford sponsorship. Maybe even a little Wells Cargo trailer sponsorship.

No, really.. on a more serious note. I'll probably NEVER make it to annual NATS event. And it's just for the reasons I've just stated. It's way too expensive to make that trek. I'm sure glad you guys in Indiana have a facility and contests right around your corner. It's not like you're on the PBA tour. Throw your bowling balls in a bag and go. At least in FAI, you've got a minimal sized plane to haul around. Get into Scale, and see what you have to have?

I know it's been done before, and is always thrown around here and there, but I'd truly like to see the Annual NATS move around the country. That way, even if we weren't planning to participate, you could certainly go and be a spectator when it made it's way to your neck of the woods.
