Aw ... ratz! Already scheduled to be out of town that weekend.

Really disappointed I can't come. Last year's event was OUTSTANDING. The plane-pull in particular was great fun.

Thanks for arranging it again. Looking forward to 2010!

Hotel is booked. Marriott's rates are poised for Oracle, but Hilton hasn't caught on yet.
Ah ok, thanks. I thought it is no way to get there if one don't drive.

I am still undecided if I will do it the same day turn or go there sat and come back monday, as fares are high doing a same day turn on sunday.

I really missed not being able to attend last year's event, so I hope I can go this year.

A FT dinner after sounds great.

Sent in my RSVP. I'm the proverbial 98-pound weakling, so I'm not sure how much help I'll be on the Plane Pull team, but I'll give it a shot.

I sent my email on Friday, so I'm in. I look forward to see a number of people that I know.

Details Please On What To Expect

I have already RSVP'd and received confirmation of our tickets from FlyUA. I'd sincerely appreciate any information attendees of last year's event can provide. I have a very inquisitive airplane-obsessed 4 year old who is wondering what exactly we will see.

I understand the event is from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

If we arrive at 11 a.m. will be able to see the planes actually take-off from the runway?

At the back end, will we be able to see the planes land on the runway?

Will we actually meet Blue Angel pilots?

I don't want to be accused of misleading him

Thank you for your responses and I look forward to meeting you all.
