Air Show at Eglin AFB FL 3-4 Apr

[Jerry Cowing]

Hi Guys,

We're up to two Cobras (Ruble Moore & Will Butterworth) plus mine. I've been extremely busy lately conducting aircraft tests on the Eglin range so I haven't talked to any of the Air Show coordinators yet. Don Cox is the overall coordinator and asked me if we were interested in bringing our cars again this year. If it's like last year, they will provide us with a "box flight lunch" and water. Based on last year, I think it would be a good idea to bring some of your own water or sodas also. Don't forget a lawn chair and umbrella or hat to keep the sun off. Last year it was very hot on the flightline for April.

I think the best plan is to meet at my house again and then go in a caravan to the North Gate of Eglin. Then I can escort everyone to the parking area on the flightline. They wanted us to show up pretty early to miss all the traffic. That's what we did last year and it seemed to work well. There is a vacant lot near my house so if a bunch of you will be trailering, I can ask them if we can park the trailers there. They are very nice people so I'm sure that won't be a problem. The lot is walking distance from my house (half a block). That's were my trailer is parked.

If there is anyone else you'd like to invite, please forward this to them. Last year, one day was used for a Corvette showing and the second day for our Cobras. John Stoeger also brought his Shelby Mustang last year and parked with us.
