This will be my first convention. I live about 140 miles away and plan to come out (hopefully fly) for at least one day, maybe two, work permittting. Are all the happenings generally on the airport grounds? Continuous throughout the day? I haven't seen seen a lot of detail in the schedule up to this point.

I look forward to meeting some new friends and seeing some great airplanes. I've already started to clean mine up a little!

Thanks,

Chris

Hotel is booked - can't wait to see everyone again!!!

Working on putting the wings back on the 140 this week so I can fly down on Monday... if this doesn't get finished I guess I'll flip a coin and bring something else. Either way we're really looking forward to being in Tennessee with everyone next week.

Remember this year you can pre-register before you head to Dyersburg. You’ll save time and be able to pick up your tickets and credentials upon arrival. I would encourage each of you to attend! Fly or drive...it doesn’t matter. Having the opportunity to meet other members is so valuable. Friendships have been forged at our fly-in conventions that become stronger each year. I hope to see you next week in Dyersburg.

We're watching the weather. We should have a intermittent stream of Michiganders Monday through the week. Weather up here looks good.........all depends on getting through to down there.
