Airliners International 2008 convention at DFW next week

[LGA777]

I am planning on spending two days next week (Thur-Sat) July 10-12 at the annual Airliners International convention, held this year at the Sheraton DFW. I started attending these in 1987 in Indy and only missed last years in Kansas City and Toronto in 1990. Although less glamourous than in recent years when flights on exotic aircraft where the norm and E-bay has reduced the airline memobilia trading demand somewhat. But it's stiill a great time and the showroom floor this year will still have 255 vendors, or around 4 times the LGA
Marriot Courtyard show.

I have been a little dissapointed that very few on this site have shown interest in this great annual event, since the site started, anybody on here attending?

Here is a brief history of the event from my friend Jon Proctor
