I wonder what the SNF turnout will be like?
I almost hate to spend the money to make the trip if the turnout is
going to be really light. Last year I thought the homebuilt turnout was pretty small. SNF has done a lot of this to themselves. Ever since they tried to make it into a money making event more than anything else, and their split from the EAA, plus the $30 a day admission. The reasons start to add up not to even go, and go to OSH instead, even if it is a bit further away. |

Well, we exhibited for a long time but the numbers dropped off every
year. Now we only go to Osh and Sebring, besides the idiots at SNF are just strange. They even damaged my car one year because they wouldn't let me out on the last day even when i showed them my ticket for an international flight later in the day. The exhibitors office wouldn't help and in the end i had to call the police and get them to let me out because i was being 'unlawfully detained' by the organisers. Needless to say, that was my LAST visit. rich wrote: I almost hate to spend the money to make the trip if the turnout is going to be really light.

I don't know what the turnout will be like, but I'm going to take in a day's
worth. According to their site they'll have most of the major players there for exhibitors, and when I was there a couple years ago they had a pretty good homebuilt presence. I'd still rather spend a day wandering amongst airplanes and airplane related 'stuff' than most other activities. BTW, I'm traveling (commercially) from western Canada. I'll be in Florida for a week or so, but one full day of SNF is just about right. "rich" wrote in message ...
