    I had a thank you message from the museum events director. My games in May made a good impression and opened a venue for gaming. I wish i had some WW1 ground troops to run some sort of game.

    I am really looking forward to the show. This will be the first show i have attended. I have gone out on Fridays for setup and test flights each year. Every year something has interfered with my attending Saturday or Sunday. I gave my ticket away one year when my wife was admitted to the hospital on a Friday afternoon.

    Air Show update. We will definitely be gaming at B&T 2014! I had a great meeting with Jonathan out at the museum today. It is a chance for some gaming and of course plane watching. That is a Win Win situation!

    I was asked if we would be better in the hanger or in the lobby for the B&T. We would get more exposure in the hanger, but the lobby is wind proof!

On Sunday we will have both a WOG/WOW game and a Aerodrome 2 game. I will be running a 5mm 1914 Sunday. Add planes, Re-enactors, entertainment plus the last two days of the 3rd Annual Mid-Atlantic WWI Dawn Patrol Tidewater Radio Control meet!

    I've always wanted to attend this (assuming its the same event that used to be held in... September?), but never had a chance. Yesterday my wife said to me something about going on a Venture Scout camping tip with Son#1 that weekend, and that Son#2 would have to stay with me. I said, "Oh, maybe I'll take him to the WWI airshow." And she said, "If I can't get in on the Venture Scout camping trip, maybe we can all go to the WWI airshow."

    Soooo... maybe I or we will be there.

    The missus and I are going to discuss it this evening. After I sent her the link to the website, she seemed really keen on the idea.

    She's scoping out hotels even I was type, so it's 99.9% likely that we will be there. Should I bring anything?

    John, thanks!
    I'm still not 100% sure of the plan, but I just ordered some decals for the Zeppelin-Staaken, so I can make an attempt to finish it and bring it along, if you like.

    That is great. Anything you want to bring is OK. It will be nice to finally meet you!

    We'll be right across the highway from you, at the Hilton. It's the weekend of my wife's birthday, and she saw this hotel and wanted to give it a go.

    Likewise!

    I've ordered decals for the Staaken, but with getting all the reenacting clothing straightened out, and working on other stuff, I doubt that I'll have it ready in time.

    Looks like a great weekend for all. There are many things to do if you get down there early. My first time we went to the USS Wisconsin. 2nd time a harbor cruise and last time Air & Space museum and the Mariners museum where the Monitor is being restored.

    We will be in the Navy hanger. For the first time visitor that is left of the main entrance of the museum. Should be a fun weekend!

    I will be out there Friday for setup. That will give me a chance to see the R/C planes also. Here is a place to visit Virginia War Museum in Hampton. They have a nice WW1 collection. They have photos of the restored FT-17, that will get you in the mood to see some biplanes!

    Thanks for the info on that museum. I hope the weather next week is like today. Here in MD it is sunny, blue skies and no wind.

    I met a number of folks at the Dawn Patrol event at the AF museum in Dayton this weekend that were either going to B&T or couldn't since they went to DP. I told them that someone would be running our game there too.

    You know i do not talk about that subject! Never trust a weather man. Last week one was giving his opinion on the chance for rain. He said none, a look out the window said rain!!!
