[Midnight Mover]

Very cool

[g0_command0]

Anyone know if they fixed their runway? if not i dont think we'll be seeing any fixed wing stuff come in.

My guess: No
why?: i have yet to see a fixed wing military aircraft come in ever since i started living under the landing path. well i i saw a KC-130 once

[phantomphan1974]

Not sure.  Will try asking Tom about that on whats coming in.

[Mustang]

I am planning on going to this one!

[Dragonskiss]

Right on, I will be attending this event as well.  Time for a break from the midterms and work!
