Unique Idea for "Airshow" May 21-22
Well, maybe it's not unique -- but *I've* never seen one like it before.
See: http://www.alexisparkinn.com/Photoga...Show/Flyer.htm A local church group is putting on a "Big Kids Toy Show" at our airport (KIOW) on May 21st and 22nd. It will be a fly-in breakfast both mornings, with all sorts of Big Boy Toys on display. Everything from airplanes, to boats, to motorcycles, to Humvees will be displayed -- putting all of our bad habits and obsessions in one place! :-) Anyone else ever seen this done before? I've offered to help them promote the event -- has anyone been involved with something like this? Any words of advice, or things to avoid? -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

The last one I attended included a classic car show and a variety of vendors. Vendors included ones selling full-size electric cars, toys, food, etc.. Small scale compared to this. You might drop John Price a line. http://home.att.net/~jm.price George Patterson I prefer Heaven for climate but Hell for company. |

Maybe some "What Would Jesus Fly?" bumper stickers? Or maybe paint camels on your planes and fly them through giant needles? |

Friday May 20th (ANE) Anoka-Blaine Airport, Minnesota. http://www.lindberghfoundation.org/events/thisyear.html (From the link above) Burt Rutan and Erik Lindbergh (pictured here) will be part of the "Legends of the Sky" hangar party at the Golden Wings Museum where Rutan (SpaceShipOne designer who won the $10 million X Prize for the first civilian aircraft to reach space twice within a two-week period) will be the featured speaker and who, undoubtedly will speak about the future of aviation. John and Martha King of King Schools, Inc., will serve as the Masters of Ceremonies and Erik Lindbergh will host the evening. Come and hear stories of history-making aircraft and their pilots and see vintage aircraft from the Golden Age of Aviation from Greg Herrick's private collection. http://www.goldenwingsmuseum.com/ ANE is just inside the old 20 mile Class B ring for MSP: 18 miles north, at 12 o'clock, from (MSP) Minneapolis/St. Paul International.

And given the task of marhsalling the crowd correctlly. Airplanes and kids do not mix otherwise. The parents walk arround assuming all the safety stuff is taken care of by "not them". |

Our local airport group started doing this 2 years ago. We have static displays of our airplanes, plus cars (a few each of antiques, hot rods, and experimental fuel cells), bicycles (this is Davis), and so on. We call it Transportation Day or something. |

You know where I'll be. I know. And it gets worse: My nephew is getting married that weekend -- in Seattle. He's already moved the date once for me -- I doubt he'll do it again! So, I miss the airshow in my own backyard -- AND Pinckneyville... :-( -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

i went to an event something like this at west houston (lakeside iws)
maybe a year ago as i was considering dumping the cash to get into flying but it was bent a bit more to military toys although i remember they had some major motorcycles and boy-toy things limited to what they could do with all those wives around although some wives might wonder if him gettin a girlfriend would be cheaper! this is just one of those great ideas whose time has come. if you really want to identify cases of arrested development with cash how could you improve upon the targeting of pilots? what better place to sell high end toys than an airport? haven't seen the hughes movie, kinda savoring the idea of it, but i'm real up on the story and also old enough to remember when airfields were regarded, in the community, as green cathedrals where only very special and frequently crazy monks could go. the news; papers and radio, were filled with the latest, fastest and all the names & pictures. some of that allure or panache or whatever you call it still attaches to things aviatish and airports are profiting from that by producing or welcoming events like those y'all described. more dan |
