Lets have an idea of how many of us are attending the Sun and Fun.
Is imposible, but I would like to meet all of you great people at the show.
I am arriving on monday and will stay till friday.:cool:
 
Gerardo,

It looks like I'll be flying down with another newly built and tested RV-7A.

I'll let the owner speak up for himself.

We will be in the Homebuilt Camping area.

We will arrive on Friday and leave on Sunday.
 
There are sure to be quite a few RV's there

The last time I went was in 2005 when they cancelled the Sun 100 Air Race that I had entered. At that time in the non camping area there were two rows of RVs that came and left during the week. That is two rows of tail to tail (T-hangar fashion) airplanes from the fence (they may have eliminated the fence by now) to the Taxi way. I would estimate 80 RVs at any one time in that area alone which is in addition to the camping area. Have fun.

Cya,
 
I plan on being there Friday and Saturday.

My 8A is still in pieces so I'll either be flying in a spam can or driving down from the Orlando area.

Are you flying your 6 from Venezuela?

De todas maneras pegame una llamada a mi cell 407 334 2028.
 
Our plan is to leave Wed eve and arrive after the air show. Will leave for home some time Sat. before the show.
My -9 will be in the RV parking and my son and I will be camping somewhere with our EAA chapter.

Bill, so you are gonna be there? Thats great, we can finally meet.
 
Bummer!

I would love to go, but my plane is down for annual. Not looking good! I can't finish my -7 fast enough. Have fun guys.... Be safe!
 
Been thinking seriously about it. May fly down commercial Thurs or Fri and leave Sunday. Will stay in Tampa and drive to the show.

I'll fly in either sunday or Monday depending on things...
I have a kitchen pass for the entire week. Plan on parking in HB area and camping with friends.
 
I will be there all day Wednesday and Thursday April 9th and 10th. I am going to drive over to Cape Canaveral and tour that area on Friday.
 
I'll be there all week (as usual) working the Xerion Avionix Booth (B-067). Stop by and say hi. I'll need the break.

That means you too, Larry!

I should be there Thursday and Friday, roaming around and trying to find a good deal on instruments and maybe an engine. I will be driving over from Merritt Island.
 
My wife and I will be there Wed and Thur in our -8. We're "commuting" from Palm Coast, which is up by St. Augustine.

Flying out of NW Ohio for S&F early Fri morning

My 11 yr old son and I are planning some serious high quality bonding time for S&F. Met some great folks in the RV area last year and looking forward to it again.

Depart 16G NW Ohio early friday morning - Sun planned. Hoping for the same smoking TW's that we had last year!

see you there...

Jeff - 7A N247DE
 
Will be there all week. Instead of camping like previous years we'll stay in our hangers across the field. A group of us are going to try it and see how it works. Like the idea of cooking out and sleeping in the hangers. But first I'm heading to Murphy NC for a little R&R. Everyone have a safe trip and enjoy..

We'll be there the whole week and at the Van's BBQ as well. Hope to meet some of you out there. We will camp there, so if you get aware of a aftershow-party, send me a SMS: +491716990696 ;) Cheers from Germany, Dirk
 
I'll be making the 25 minute drive from my house on Sunday. If you see a tall, skinny, young guy sporting one of the new VAF t-shirts, please introduce yourself.
 
Planning my first visit to S&F. We hope to be in the area Sunday & ferry the RV-7A into Lakeland Monday, & departing Thursday.
I'll be following a SR-22, on my 6 will be a gaggle of Bonanzas, Comanchee, Mooneys, Cessnas & a MCR-01.
You have to check out the MCR-01 - French 2 place composite kit - cute little thing that cruises with the Mooneys... on 100HP!
 
I'm going

I'm driving to Sun N Fun... I'll have a car there and my relatives are 3rd gear away from the airport so I'm really close. I can provide transportation to anyone who needs it(24 hrs a day so keep my number handy if you have an emergency). (I'm also an IA if you should need anything) I should be down there the entire week.... my ph is 404-405-1315. I'd love to find a tall gear tall man's RV-4.... :) I'll be wearing my VAF cap and charity shirts... 6'3" 230 lbs.

I'll Be There...

Hello Folks!
Come by the booth (N-17) out front of the "D" Hanger and check out our aircraft photography. We'll have 4 new sets of Greeting Cards, giclee' prints (both framed and unframed) and something new, custom aviation postage stamps.
Also on display will be my wooden 4x5 field camera, with which many of my favorite aviation images were created.
I've got a lot of RV questions too, so please come by to say "Hello".

Boss (Barb) and I flying down commercial Monday and out Wed last flight. Plan to spend "quality" time with Avery & other tools folks to see what new toys I need. (Definitely want a pneumatic squeezer) Got a few more questions for Van also but it always depends on who you get over there - some friendly & helpful, others too.... Sorry we'll miss dinner. Also have to spend refresher time with the Poly Fiber guys relearning how to do rib stitching - want to finish my Starduster recover before my fuselage comes in - sched for "May". Best to all & hope to meet who we can.

Lorene and I will be flying in every day the weather is good,however we'll be flying the Rans S7S instead of our RV6-A. Reason--- There will be a field full of RVs and probably only half a dozen S7Ss.

Woo Hoo! Back in the saddle!

I've been planning for SnF ever since the good time last year. Unfortunately, work called at the very last minute and sent me to Ireland Sat the 5th. FORTUNATELY, I completed my task yesterday (Monday the 7th). I'm expecting to get to JAX to meet my wife and son on Wed nite, who already have the camping gear in tow.
See y'all Thursday.

Ahhhhhh..... :D:D

So many vendors, so little time...
