500 Exhibitors at SNF?
http://www.sun-n-fun.org/content/int...ody=exhibitors
That's a pretty impressive list! (I didn't count 'em -- the "500" comes from the SNF website...) It looks to me like SNF is rivaling OSH more and more in both size and scope. I hope it never loses its more laid-back attitude, though. We're hoping to attend SNF this year -- anyone else headed that way? -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"

But I'm driving from Orlando. I toyed with flying in from Orlando for the experience, but canned the idea as too much trouble. John Stevens PP-ASEL

How's that happening? Easy -- it is 61 years old! Ahhh! I just realized what I was thinking of. I was thinking of the Harmon Rocket, which as many of ya'll know, is a modified RV. I could not resolve the fact that Van's aircraft had been around for that long! g A little time on Google turned up some interesting info on a plane that (I think) was unknown to me previously. A sweet little plane, indeed. I can definitely see the resemblance to the Culiver, since it was designed with the Rocket still fresh in the designer's memory. -- Jim in NC

Perhaps you're thinking of the more contemporary Harmon Rocket? Totally different plane.

John Galban=====N4BQ (PA28-180) Specifically: They built just 17 in 1945/46, but they sold more than 500, plus distributorships, dealerships, company stock, etc. It is a great airplane -- fingertip controls, speed to match Comanches, Bonanzas, etc. and looks to match! Of the 17 built, I am aware of only 7 or 8 that still exist, of which 3 are airworthy. I don't know whether or not those who put down deposits got their money back, but the dealers & distributors and stock buyers certainly did not.

500 Exhibitors at SNF?
Most of the Spruce Creek Air Force will be there -- spread across the
duration. We have about 30 RVs of various flavors -- mostly RV-8s, plus three SX-300s (red, yellow, white/blue), Blue Angels-painted L-39, T-34s, Stearmans, etc. Just look for my Johnson Rocket parked in the Vintage area. Cool! I think our mutual friend Harry is planning to fly his SX-300 down for at least a few days. Maybe Mary and I will get to meet you at some point? If you happen to get over to the SNF equivalent of the "Fly Mart", we'll be helping at the "Flying Colors Glass" booth. The owner (Gary Elshoff) did our aviation themed stained glass window(s) at the hotel, and he promotes us every bit as much as we promote him. We're hoping to fly down Sunday or Monday... -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"
