Default Florida jets 2012.. Are we there yet?

I know a few of my northern buddies are already on the road and making the long journey down chasing the sun from the colds of Canada. I also know there are a few Brits heading out to Lakeland this year. I myself am going to fly out a week early and spend some time with club Tropicana at "Mayhem" the week before. This should give me time to thaw out and spend some time getting the old toys dusted down, and some new ones test flown.
So... Who else is planning on attending this year, and what are you taking to play with? Share a photo. I will be sure to update with some photos along the way. Something tells me that with the motley crew we have in our tent, as well as camping on site there are going to be stories to be told Safe Journey, and see you guys soon.
Regards Al

I am packed and ready to go. I just wish I had decals for the Viper.

Ali, do you sell the decals like you had on your 2.0 SM Viper?

Hey Ali,

I'm actually heading down this sunday to go help out at BVM for the week prior to FL Jets. I will be bringing my F-100 and maybe a bandit ARF. Safe travels and we will see you on the 1st of march or maybe sooner.

All being well I also hope to be flying my latest U.S model purchase. A big scale jets T-33 built by the master craftsman that is Graeme Mears.... Just owning a plane built by him is wow enough, so the fact that its a jet that I love so much makes it that much better. I just hope it flies as well as it looks?

I do not have a 2m sticker sheet in stock at the moment I am afraid. I will speak to my sticker guy and get some more made and bring one with me. My worry is how the bigger stickers will travel in my suitcase...

Well it's about time!

I don't think I'm going to make it over. At best I'd just be there on Saturday.
