Hey sluggo, you can run but you can't hide--I can find you anywhere! <G> hehehe.
Chris is right, this year the symposium is going to be a BLAST!!
It will be well supported, there should be some awsome flying and well worth attending for experienced flyers as well as newer pilots.
I can tell you from first hand experience that the Tri-City guys are a great bunch. I have made the mistake of missing the last few symposiums and fully intend to correct that oversite this yr. Hope to see and meet many of you there----helis rule!
