Anybody going to AirVeture this year, I am. I leave Friday morning and arrive  (driving) Saturday the 20th and remain until the 28th. Again I will be either driving the tram tractor or conducting from the rear. I will also be gathering information and taking photos for Powered Sport Flying Magazine.

Hope to see some of you there, I already have Mark Wood's phone number. If there are more of you going, perhaps we can meet or at least make a phone or text contact. My phone is 316 519-5739

That date should have been 2019, not 209.

Hi Paul, my wife and I will be there on Tuesday and Wednesday and I will look for you on the trams and say hi if I see you. You are one of my ETLB hero's .To bad we do not have a ETLB SECRET hand shake.

I am coming over from Australia and arriving Sunday night and will be there all week, hope to catch up with some of you. Please post on the forum if a get together is planned as last year my phone wouldnt work and I am not confident that my Telco has fixed it.

I think maybe I saw you.  Were you the tram driver that bottomed out a tram cart by the ultralight area?  

Note to anyone planning on going next year:
It involves a huge amount of walking, despite the trams like the one Paul drove.  I highly recommend you buy the best walking/cross training sneakers you can find, and DO NOT cheap out on the price.  I purchased a $140 pair of Brooks cross trainers, and they were worth every penny. According to our cell phones apps, we walked  about 7-8 miles per day.

We got there on Monday, and stayed thru Thursday afternoon. The Wed night airshow was totally awesome.
