AlanG Posted July 15, 2008 Author Posted July 15, 2008 It will be my first time there. so im excited either way. The V-22 is supposed to be there. Quote
AlanG Posted July 17, 2008 Author Posted July 17, 2008 anyone else? the largest experimental aircraft gathering! it'll be one heck of a week! Quote
Wannabe1 Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 Yeap, going Thursday and/or Friday, but will spend a lot of time down in the ultralight area with the experimental helos. Fond du lac will probably have more unstructured flying, so may head over there as well. I want to catch the Red Bull Helo show and the V-22s. I read the Harrier will fly in the afternoons again this year. Tom Quote
helonorth Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 I went a few years ago and, unless things have changed, there are VERY few helicopters. Acouple home-builts and that was about it. Quote

Chopperjess Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 I heard (don't quote me) but apparantly a jet pack that actually works is going to be introduced on the 29th there. Suppose to be able to fly for 30 minutes, and a range of 30 miles. The guy (Glenn Martin I think?) said it would be classified with the FAA under ultralight. Again, don't quote me, but it's what I heard! Quote
