    Given that I have been waiting for this event for several years, and the fact that I have actually had dreams about it this week, I can safely say that I will be there with bells on, people. Keep an eye out for the longhaired dude with the Boeing hat.

    Was a great day today, and I'm excited for tomorrow.

    Please be sure to come by and say hi. I'll be wearing my desert flag hat and probably doing the raffle announcements and coordinating the Continental tours. I will also be back and forth between the NYCA table, which will be manned by Eric and another friend.

    Hope to see you folks out there!

    The goody bags have a custom Gemini Jets 737-200 made for the show, as well as other cool pins, stickers and more. The show is much more than just a typical collectibles show than you're used to at LGA or even EWR.

    So the show is over.

    I found the show to be more crowded on Friday then Saturday, but overall it was a pretty good turnout. I was disappointed that more members from this site did not attend. I met a lot of good people, made some new contacts and according to Phil I came in 2nd in the photo contest, beat out by a slide. oh well.

    Next Year its in Portland, Oregon. Who's going?

    The DC-7 was doing flights...low level at 500ft over the local airports. FAA really hooked up the patterns.

    Eric won the category of Best Air photo with his sunset silhouette MD-11 landing at LAX, but narrowly came in 2nd in the Best Of Show award with a gorgeous Eastern 757 slide. I'll show you folks the results once they publish.

    The show was a lot of fun. Friday was definitely a little busier than Saturday. Friday was cool because the bar opened in the hallway outside the ballroom...so you could walk around the trade show tables with a beer in hand. A new experience!

    I had a great time. I hope that some of you make it out to other AI shows in the future. Next year's in Portland OR should be good...I wonder if there will be any Boeing tours! Hmmmm

    That would be great, but Seattle is about a 3+ hour drive.
    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.

    It's a 2.5 hour drive if you go fast enough.

    It's not uncommon for the tour to arrange for a charter bus and make a 2 hour drive if there's an extra cool spot. Mohave being over 2 hours from LAX being an example of such a tour.
