Do you have an asphalt runway for the jets or is it off grass?
Thanks,

Hey Ronnie,

Things are shaping up. I'm stocking up on food and drinks for the event. We are getting the windy conditions out of the way this week. Should be another good event, already have pre-registered pilots.

See ya soon,

Hey Goose, Love to have you drop by. You won't be alone, this place fills up with spectators. Saturday is the best day for watching. Thursday, Friday, and Sunday's are pretty laid back. Get yourself a map from the website and make the trip up to the field.

See ya then!

Hey Buck,

Lowes sells the 5 gallon cans of 1-K and we have a Lowes within 4-5 miles of the field. Heck, If I was you, I would just drain some out of the F-18!

See ya Friday,
Greg

Buck,
Northwest propane is about 20 minutes from the field. They sell kero from the pump. Last time I was there it was just under $4 a gallon.

I'll be there on Friday, let me know if you want me to pick some up for you on the way up.

not because of the little girl, too much time on the "bus" ... 10 hours flying to ny and back in a yesterday is a beating. and the current downturn in airtravel isnt making anyone more helpful or friendly in the field either...
