I went to the airport and met Jack Buckley who is a known scale competitor, he will be helping us with the event, the place is huge and very nice, the runway is in great condition and the best thing was that they are open and we can do just about anything we want, plenty of room for camping, parking trailers and motor homes, I will post some pics, as far as the showers, I am still working on that and will be going back soon to the town to research that subject more, I am optimistic

Airworks, yes plenty of room for tents, motor home you name, I asked about the fire and I should know soon, I will let you know but I think we're good, I just need confirmation and yes we will burn wood but we have to no we must burn airplanes also.
