RE: Florida Jets 2004
Hi.
I'm traveling to FJ again this year. It's really nice to meet so many friedly people, who all have the same addiction as myself. WE LOVE THE SMELL OF JETFUEL IN THE MORNING.[8D]
I would have loved to bring my SimJet 3000 powered EuroSport, but I can't bring it on the airplane. It's too big. So I just built a Kangaroo and powered it with a SimJet 1200. (So I will not get a speeding ticket
)
See you there.

RE: Florida Jets 2004
Hi guys,
Just thought I'd fill you all in on a couple of things concerning Florida Jets.
First of all, we can fly from about Noon time on Wednesday but not before.
It looks like ALL pilots tents will be able to be on the flightline this year, with space behind the tents for parking trailers.
There are camp sites available on site, they charge $10 per night or $15 per night, with or without electricity.
There are many awards this year, given out at the Saturday night Awards Dinner. But there's going to be something different this year. Instead of hawking you guys for Raffle tickets, only to have the prize won by some non modeler, this year we are doing an Auction....At the Dinner! It will be an "absolute" Auction which means that whatever the high bid is, that's it, regardless of how cheap the bid! For example if we get a final bid of $20 for a $100 servo, it'll go for that $20! Should be fun for all. There will be several items auctioned off with the main item being donated by BVM. I can't tell you what it is but its name has between 6 and 7 letters in it!
Last but not least, the runway beautification program is finished. We have installed brand new Bermuda grass at the same level as the blacktop strip so that if you have a brake malfunction and veer off the runway, the transition to the grass is a smooth one. No Lip!
That's it for now. If anybody wishes to ship their model to us at FTE, you may. We are just 5 minutes from the site. Look forward to seeing many of you again. Thanks. FT

RE: Florida Jets 2004
Hey guy's when Johnny's flying you better get your camera's out because there is nothing more fun to watch then a 6'4" cuban,spanish,ethiopian,jewish,Itallian standing out on the flight line in high heels and panties with that yuppie transmitter tray that you need to wear a bra to fly with, standing next to his spotter Kobe Watson. If all Johhny did was taxi around all day, i would be the first one in line to watch, but when he fly's I am the first one in line to buy tickets. With the transmitter antenna whipping around, and Bryce trying to duck out of the way like he's used to in a drive by... it is absolute comedy. Add a turbine powered jet to the equation and you have reality television at its best. I look forward to seeing the rest of you next to me in the front row, and dont forget to take in all the commercials in the pits. Just make sure that if you come into our pits you leave your wallets and checkbooks in your vehicles, because if you enter with any money in your pockets.....and Johnny is there.....you will leave with something. He is better then David Copperfield when it comes to that stuff, you will be walking back to your pits saying "Hey what happend to all my money" and "why do I have broken pieces of a jet in my hand" "did I buy this from Johnny"? "did I get a good deal"?
Cant wait for the show, should be better then prime time

RE: RE: RE: RE: Florida Jets 2004
Yeah, that video is my favorite. It ranks right up there with the video's Bryce has of the trip home from Fresno Jets, those movies will be playing at Florida Jets and we are just waiting for Bryce to post the show times, ticket prices will be as follows:
me scaring the crap out of Johnny when he is sleeping in the passenger seat $1.00
me putting Johnny's cell phone up my shorts while he is sleeping and then calling his number that wakes him up and shows him frantically looking for his phone... and the look on his face when he finds it $2.00
me Jimmy and Bryce pounding on the window of the Suburban at the gas station while Johnny is sleeping and then running to the back window and looking at him jump out of his seat looking around at everyone filling up there tanks and giving them dirty looks $2.00
me putting a lit cigarette in between Johnny's fingers while he is sleeping and then Bryce screaming at him and waking him up telling him that he fell asleep with a lit smoke and that he can catch the car on fire and Johnny yelling to everyone that he isn't smoking while he has a lit cigarette in his hand and he doesnt know it then throws his arms around like a pissed off Cuban that just woke up from a deep sleep and drops the smoke he doesnt know he has inbetween the seats of the brand new Suburban that we borrowed $3.00
the interrigation by the MIB agents (Jimmy and Bryce.......get it?) about his whereabouts of the previous night and confronting his untruths................PRICELESS!!!!!!

RE: RE: RE: RE: Florida Jets 2004
Don't forget what I did to Johnny at my place.
I spray shaving cream to Johnny hand and start tickle his nose.
Next thing he got his face full of shaving cream.
This is before I knew he got punk all day in the Suburban.
So I end up with the last laugh.
So get your ticket early to see Mr. Johnny in action.
Made sure to tide yourself down to the chair. COZ you will LYAO.

Yeah Sean they are definately worth 10 times the amount, but unlike some other vendors we thought we would offer a show discount.

RE: Florida Jets 2004
Well this time next week I"ll be on my way to Florida Jets, I bought a new light weight trailer 5x8 enclosed trailer to double the volume of cargo to bring. At 1000 lbs. I don"t think I''ll even notice it that I"m hauling a trailer. Added to my fleet this year is a new Hotspot powered by a Jetcat P120.
