Nope, no trailer yet. I have an Expedition that will have a 35%er, a 60 size Edge, and about 6-7 park flyers/foamies. I have a shoehorn fit as it is!
However, My buddy Jason Benson is bringing a trailer and may have room...I am sure you/we will find some way to transport your planes - where there is a will there is a way. I do have a hitch, though, so if someone at the shootout will loan you a trailer, we can hook it up and yank it!

it's abut an hour north of north Tucson in Coolidge. Very nice field. It would be good for the party atmosphere...

Some of you know I will be moving to Texas next week, specifically Del Rio. I just had a brainstorm of an idea!!! I'm going to try to leave MI on Tuesday and head to the Shootout kind of on the way to Texas

If all works out, I can make Tucson and stay for a day, then head to Texas, that's the tentative plan.

Well Ken,
Congrats on the new job. Wish you well, but heck anyone that is going to get paid to fly planes is doing OK.
Boy, you are also planning a big round-about way on getting to Texas from MI.
Have a safe and good time on your trip, and say "Hi" for me to the fellow Flying Giants out in Tucson.

Thanks Joe,

Yeah it's quite a trip, 35 hours to Tucson and another 13 to Del Rio, about 23 hours additional!!! Good thing I don't mind driving

I'm getting my van wired for trailer brakes on Monday, or I'd leave earlier.

Assuming all goes as planned, I'll give the boys your best!!
