Hi Guys

We are back and I must say we are still getting our thoughts back to Africa with great pain....

Start saving, rob the bank, do what it takes, but get there next year.

This year a total of 540 000 people attended the 6 days (and there are NO papers lying around, place is spotlessly clean)

You wait for 5min at most to get food, never wait for any toilets.

The amount of aircraft that attended exceeded 10 000, only two accidents and unfortunately 2 people died.

With the amount of aircraft flying two accidents per hour would be normal, so an extremely well organized event.

Unfortunately Gyro Flying in the USA does not seem to be popular at all.

We saw one distributor of Gyroplanes and guess who. Yes you are right, Mr. Mocke with the RAF2000 all the way from South Africa. Was nice to meet you guys at last, hope your attendance was worth the effort.

The afternoon airshow is the best you will ever see, specially the last two days. Can you imagine 70 warbirds flying at the same time in a mock attack on the airfield. No words can discribe that, you have to be there.

Closer to the time you can send me a PM on how I would do it next time.
