My wife and I have our tickets for the Symposium which includes both days of the YAF Air Show. I plan to attend Geneseo and may even be able to go to Trenton. So hopefully I will be able to meet everyone at at least one of those events.
I know Olivier is planning to come this way some time in this summer, and you will see from his post it may be later in June.
I was just giving an FYI regarding the Ottawa Air Show at Carp. Apparently it hasn't been there since 1985. It is a smaller and obviously much less busy airport. It might actually be a nice place for a show. I have no idea what the runway length is, so I don't know how many and how large the attending aircraft could be. And as I said I haven't been able to confirm the show is taking place at all.
Regards,
Mike
