2016 Airman's Show

Well it's that time again... Time to start thinking about the Airman's show.

I will be booking my travel here in the next couple of days. Looks like I will be flying in Fri night and staying at the Millennium. We had a nice BCP get-together on the deck last year and it looks like we will be doing so again.

Anyone else heading up?

I've made you a new thread for 2016. 8)

I'll be there, I'm even bringing my wife and daughter. It's always a great time to meet 'n greet with beers in hand. Grab yourself a hat so we know you're one of us!

Going to try and get a day off during the show but that will be right in the middle of a 7 week turnaround. [emoji19]

Do you know the timing on the talk? BTW I've heard the book is excellent.
