Here's the other post regarding HAI with a list of a few more attending. I was planning to announce some spot nearby for a Sunday night VR get together when it gets a bit closer. http://helicopterforum.verticalreference.c...showtopic=10629 Goldy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rick1128 Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 I had scheduled to do the CFI renewal course and attend Sunday through Tuesday, however, I am presently on a contract in Nigeria that went from 30 days to at least 90 plus. So it looks like I will not be going this. We'll see. A lot can happen with contract between now and feb 17th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedge36 Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 Looks like I'll be able to attend - WOOT! - no firm plans yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Future Heli Pilot Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 I'll be there.... Rookie here, what you guys recommend for me to do at the Expo? Can I take some courses? I'm staying at Oakwood in Woodland Hills (used to live there in early 90s). Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmfish Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 You're staying in Woodland Hills (like, oh my gawd, gag me with a spoon!) and driving all the way down to Anaheim? I'd rather pierce my eyes with knitting needles that endure that commute. Personally, if I were going to attend, I wouldn't even rent a car. I'd stay at one of the Disneyland Resort Hotels, walk to the convention each day, and enjoy Disneyland/Downtown Disney in the evenings. Hmmm, my annual A-Star touchdown auto recertification is coming due March 7th. Maybe I can arrange to be at Helistream around late February...

EC120AV8R Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Myself and Eagle-1 will be there for most if not the whole show. We will have one of our ships on display at the FLIR booth. Hope to meet some VR people there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll spend 3 hours a day in I-5 traffic driving to and from Anaheim. Instead, he could fly into John Wayne, take a Disney Shuttle to the hotel, and avoid the hassles of renting (and parking) a car.

Tawler Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 I'm getting 2 day-passes from a friend who works for FDC/Aerofilter. Lodging, I'm not sure. My friend works @ Disneyland, and gets discounts on rooms. So, I might stay there. Not sure yet! But, I'm planning on driving from the SF area down there bright and early Friday morning. -Tawler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EAGLE1 Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 As EC120AV8R said I will be there for the duration. Are we panning a dinner night? Hope to put some VR names to faces. Palm, hope you work it out for Helistream. It will be good to see you again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Guys- What Hotel you all recommend near Disney, and close to the convention center? I'll take Palmfish's advice and fly direct to John Wayne airport from Florida.
