I'm planning to day trip it again this year. I hope to have my WC-51 operable for next year's event, though I will probably have to find a different reenactment unit, as a bit of my USAAF stuff is being sold to support the WC-51 restoration. (Anyone need a full set, plus spares, of Tuning units for a BC-375 transmitter? PM me if so- going cheap!)

Is there a departure time and date? I will be busy all weekend with 2 children graduating from different schools. Ask Babe Heffron where Tony is.

Have a good time all

Right now the departure day for Fifi is Thursday June 9th. I don't have the time of departure yet. She will be flying rides all weekend and may be doing some rides on Thursday June 2nd as well.

Glad to hear the Pusher bunch will be there, nice group of people. Will the Pusher be there too?

Airplanejunkie, was that you I said "hello" too in Millville this past Sunday?

I'll be in Reading on Friday. Can't wait!

The Curtiss-Ely Pusher is already at Reading. It will fly on Saturday and Sunday - winds and weather permitting.

I think you were talking to Baldeagle (Andrew,) although I was there on Sunday.

The Pusher made it uneventfully from MIV to RDG first thing Monday morning, with a stop in New Garden.

darn,
Once again, my Aviation job gets in the way of my Aviation hobby.

I just found a completely unrelated Squak on the airplane I was supposed to be done with today.
We will not be going to reading as planned, I will be changing the Fuel Control Unit in a Williams FJ-44-3, on an Island.

In the famous words of alot of Sox fans, "Theres always next year" :)

Sox fans need to quit stealing Cubs fan's sayings. :wink: Unfortunately next year has never actually been next year. Just like me and Oshkosh.
