We had more people going but they backed out on me, so it is making it hard on us. We really want to come and bring the 3 60%er's and the big ultimate but we will have to wait and see what happens. I leave for the Heatwave Fly-In in Tulsa, Oklahoma Wednesday morning and will be back home Sunday night just in time to re-pack and leave for your event Monday or Tuesday morning I hope.

Well, I finally got my schedule today for the period of the Huckfest. I'm going to have to pack the van Monday night. I'm going to be on a 48 hour shift from 8:00 am Tuesday until 8:00 am Thursday. I'm hoping to be on the road by 8:30 Thursday morning. With a little over 1,000 miles to drive, I should be in on Friday morning. Looking forward to this event. I will have to leave out fairly early on Sunday. I have to be back to work at 8:00 am Tuesday morning after the event.

5 days off work, around 2,100 miles on the van. It's all worth it for one of the best events of the year. See you all there!

Hey everyone! Never been to a Huckfest but I'm looking forward to my first one. Can't wait to meet some folks from the FG family and hang out with some great pilots. I hope to learn a trick or two also.
Thanks for putting this together Elie and AMA district 1 Andy Argenio!!!!!!!
