1) Should we have another event? : YES I know it will be in Houston but would have preferred EWR. (2006 would be the best for me).

2) Would it be beneficial or just a get together. : A little bit of both.

3) Would the simulators be interesting? : YES

4) Would FLight training be interesting? : Yes, I could get an advanced rating and change my name to CommercialPilot :D

5) How about the operations center downtown? Yes

6) Want to see Larry's office? Sure, why not.

I attended last time, and would certainly attend again. An event that takes us down to the operations center would be especially fascinating.

Cigar,
Any updates?

I love H-Town, rodeos, liars, money, unbounded optimism, and great basebell.
 
Cigarman,

We need to round up more women for this event. ^ I was unable to attend the last one, but there was definitely a shortage :td: from the photos I saw. You know, I know a girl from my high school that is an "entertainer" :eek: at Heartbreaker's in Clear Lake, maybe can get some sort of discount running for The Do. :D :D :D

Did somebody say, "I love H-Town, rodeos, liars, money, unbounded optimism, and great basebell." yet forget the brazen women, pansexuality of the cowboys, and crooked cops?! :eek: Looks like I'm gonna have to plug in my favorite description of my good ol' home town. :D

J.Edward, cheers to you my friend, it seems that you are the only other unabashed supporter of the Great City of Slime (to quote Marvin Zindler). I don't live there right now, but I am using it as my excuse for my first run to Gold Status for 2006.

'STROS WIN!

Absolutely interested for all aspects, especially flight training/sim tours.

Will be great to get back down there and see everyone again.

Yes, I would be very interested in a second event.
I would love to see Chelsea catering and the office side.

Cigarman.....thanks for all the effort, past, current and future.

Yes to all above, and I will be there, I like flying to IAH, just went through yesterday.

I missed the last one - it was the weekend I was moving to Houston. Would love to go to this one. Answers below:

1. YES
2. Its always good to raise money - but sticking to a non-contoversial cause is touch. Even the Red Cross has detractors.
3. YES
4. YES (but will DHS allow?)
5. That would be great (I have visions of a "Mission Contol"-like setup - maybe I'm over-anticipating?)
6. Only if its a middle coach seat LOL.

Let's ask for EWR, even if we only get the little cheese.

zeusscu Oct 12, 2005 7:18 pm

Count me in!

psalflyer Oct 13, 2005 10:03 pm

Since I wasn't around for the last one, I would definitely be interested this time around. And since I am in Houston, Houston is just fine with me.

MarcoBJ Oct 14, 2005 12:26 am

Cigarman -

Can you give us some more specifics as far as what weekend in Jan or Feb?

Thanks.
