RE: Pilot Attendance at Meets this year
Well, I'm half way to Ky Jets as I type and its cost me $200 in gas and hotel so far - and I drive a 4-cylinder pulling a 5X8 trailer...I can't imaging what the guys with bigger rigs are paying! [X(]
For me, its all about the amount of flying I'll be able to get in vs. the cost to get there. I did Fentress because even though its only 2 days, its only a 2.5 hour drive for me. I'm doing Ky Jets because it should be 5 days of flying (knock on wood) for a 9 hour trip and Liberty should be 3 or 4 days for a 6 hour trip. Any farther for less flying won't happen. Florida Jets is totally out for us in '09. Almost no flying after a 14 hour drive and I saw all of the new stuff here on RCU long before I saw it a Florida Jets (or I can see it on RCU during/after)...
