i drove up there last year for the inaugural and wouldn't hesitate to do it again.
I knew the weather was gonna suck for the first couple of days Fri, Sat[

] but sunday was beautiful and the prospect of seeing a couple of good buddies again made the trip worthwhile. it's a big field, with lots of growth potential for ramp space and overnight storage in the way of a new Hangar. airspace is wide open for those horizon to horizon knife edge passes or on the deck aileron rolls. potential to ship to Horizon to get your jets to field (just a guess) would be a bonus and some of the friendliest folks in the jet community.
good people, good times, doesn't get much better for an out of towner
if the mississippi gang is coming maybe we can get David to cook up some mudbugs!!!! it'll make for a delightful flight home amigo.
cheers

I am seriously considering making a visit to Illini jets this year. Can anybody give me some feed back/ reasons to make the trip?
