Bill,
It would be great to have a bunch of us get together with the Wacos at either Fly In. Maybe get one of those Sport RVs (the kind for carrying ATVs and sleeping in) load all the guys and planes and attend both Waco Fly Ins, they are only about 450 miles apart

.
I used a milage chart and from Orlando, Fl to either Columbus, Ohio (956) or St Louis (1004), so the milage is about the same although different routes are required. Take you pick. I don't know any thing about the NWC Fly In or what there is to do in the area. The AWC Fly In does have other things in StL for family members to do; Six Flags, Casinos (right near the Holiday Inn), Stl Zoo, malls and more, although Ken and I did not leave the airfeild except to go back to the hotel to shower and sleep.
