Hi Shawn,

I am at the Jameson Too (at least I think that is where my reservation
is)

This is a kinda new gathering in honor of Mr Pitts.

Last year was the first time for it and I did not come. So I am just
guessing about the size, there will be maybe a couple hundred
spectators for the airshow Sat. It is really an unknown how many will
show up. I don't know how much advertisement has been done. I will be
there Thur evening and need to leave right after the airshow Sat.

If most of the crowd is like the people I have seen and met at
Oshkosh, Sun"N"Fun, and other fly-ins, it will be a friendly bunch
just here to talk about and see the planes - and meet Curtis!

Guessing again, Friday will be low key, people getting set up to sell
stuff, and watching the planes arrive.

Sat, there are some seriously good Pitts pilots flying! One I know:
Skip Stewart. He is from near Memphis, like me and I have met him a
couple times. A cool guy, awesome pilot with an awesome plane. Has a
nice website - skipstewartairshows. He flys a DC-10 for a living.

I, on the other hand, get to work on them and some Airbuses and old
Boeings for a living. Well I answer the phone or some such and they
pay me so I am a very happy camper!!

Hope to see you there!
Wally
