I think I will be - its on my calendar and I'm working on keeping it open. I won't be able to make it down until Thursday evening though - have to teach in the morning. Are we able to fly for a bit on Sunday? I think Bob said that they did fly on Sunday morning last fall...

Parking and Tent Information: Each parking spot is 15' wide x 50' deep. If it fits in that space you're good to go. If you need extra space e.g. large RV we can accommodate you, just let me know.

Pricing is same as last year:
Parking Spot with no power: FREE! (limited qty available and are towards either end of show center ... most spots have power)
Parking Spot with your own 30A power plug: $25
Two Parking Spots with two 30A power plugs and prepaid 20x20 tent: $275
Four Parking Spots with four 30A power plugs and prepaid 20x40 tent: $525

First come first served, as far as parking spot location so let me know ASAP. I will need all tent pre-payments by mid-March.

Thanks!

JS

Go to flyingtigersrc.com to see club information and live video cams.

Go to https://www.youtube.com/user/flyingt...cdotcom/videos and look for "TigerMeet" related files to see videos of last October's event.

This club pulls out all the stops to make jet flyers happy. Tell me what you want or need and we will do our best to make it happen!

I need to hear from anyone that wants a tent pretty soon. I'll need to finalize and get order in to the tent guy mid-month so let me know.

Parking spots do not have to be reserved, but you will get a better park if you do. First come first served.

Looking forward to a great event April 8 - 9th!
