I'm really excited about meeting everyone that we've been chatting with on the 'net--all this time!!!
I appreciate the effort that you're making to be here.

Neil Hoppe (aka franklinair) RSVP for 1. I'm flying from Atlanta to Sacramento Friday, 8-17, then driving to Grass Valley, staying at Gold Country Inn. May I bring you some wine from the Biltmore House vineyard? Looking forward to meeting folks.

Am I bringing another dang sheet cake?
p.s. yellow or chocolate? white or choc frosting? Decisions, decisions.
...with attendance of this year's BBQ expected to be as good or better than last year - who among you would be interested in some aerial photographs of the cars? ...Or as an enhancement - four or six ship formation fly-bys w/ a couple of us photographers on board?
We have a gaggle of retired professional pilots w/ hi-perf planes who routinely fly formation practice and will do anything for fuel. I have spoke to the Airboss & have a meeting w/ them tonite... If they're all up for it, we'll depart at a time when everyone is there & make a series of passes (1000 AGL - no buzzing) for photos & entertainment. I also talked to a P-51 driver in Modesto (closest available). Still way too expensive...
Any good photos will be posted here and made available in large form for anyone who wants to print them.
...Just a li'l something you don't normally see at car shows w/ resources at hand. Let me know if this appeals to you...
