The Georgia Jets guys will be there. Wouldn't miss it!

I'll be there Wed. 4/10 with the Elite Aerosports trailer loaded with a bunch of HAVOCS and ONE SPATULA

For any newbies, the Mississippi Afterburner is at the John Bell Williams airport (KJVW) in Raymond MS, 6000', lots of RV parking, Jet A and oil on site. overnight airplane storage.

Chefs Dawn, Bob-O and Price cook breakfast in the hanger Friday and Saturday mornings, eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes free to the pilots and crew. Lots of pilot giveaways and a great auction. Commercial tents available. For you who don't know, this events raises money for a scholarship fund you created for the aviation department of the school who owns the airport we use. So we're having fun and doing some good. We have kept people in school who otherwise would have not financially be able to stay. Thank you! None of the money we take in goes in our pockets.

For those of us at MA last year, Bill Culbertson made the event by doing a noon time show in his MIG17 for us all three days! Good news! I talked to Bill a few days ago and he wants to do it this year!

Hey Bob-O is that SPATULA a new jet offering from EA? What size turbine does it use?

Mmm, pancakes.

I was just thinking that's an odd name for a jet..........unless you're Spongebob.

Come on guys, you know a spatula is not a plane. It is a turbine powered pancake flipper offered by Elite Aerosports

If you can make it it's well worth the trip. Feels more like a regular day at the flying field rather than a large event. Very relaxed and no drama. And it doesn't hurt that every year somebody brings a really cool full scale. One year it was a P-51, then an L29, then a Mig 15 and last year the Mig 17 doing afterburner passes down the runway was about a cool as it gets. Make the drive, you won't be disappointed.

Ready for a new potato gun paint scheme?https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...8fcec0b78.jpeg

Super spudder

I remember it well. Warmed the inside of the hangar. The mayor of Winnona was there and his remark after the shot was, "put more gas in it". LOL

Vernon,

Thanks for posting the info early. It's on my calendar and I am hoping to make it this year, definitely my favorite event of the year. Hopefully I'll be there with some OKC or west Texas guys too.

You ought to submit a request to USAF Public Affairs and see if we can get a Bone or other flyby. I'll volunteer to be the ground liaison officer!

Make the trip, it's great place to fly, some real Southern Hospitality down there too.

I approve of this.

I'll see what I can do on my end, never know until you ask!

I knew it! lol sharp rebel scheme mine is going to a new owner here in Texas in the next couple of weeks. I hated to do it but I found something I couldnt live with!
I hope everything lines up this time, I want to attend the event this year. After the year im having I could use a little break from Texas and some fun with friends!

There should be 2 additional Hornets there.

Vern, put me down for a space. I'm bringing the big trailer and a bunch of jets!
