C of G Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 I saw a Heli Expo for Newbies thread, but is there a list of who is attending the convention this year? Seems I'll be out there at some point, possibly entire convention. 2 Quote
LTF Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 Are you referring to the Heli-success segment or the entire expo? 1 Quote
gary-mike Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 Count me in!  I can predict a few that will be there.LynMikemvDPGoldyRichardRandy Rowles And I'm sure I could come up with many more 1 Quote
CharyouTree Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 I'll get there Sunday night, leaving Thursday (so I won't make much, if any of the day.) 1 Quote
C of G Posted January 19, 2014 Author Posted January 19, 2014 Are you referring to the Heli-success segment or the entire expo?Either actually. I just wanted to get an idea of whose path I might get to cross from those I know on here already or maybe get the chance to put a face to the Screen-name I see regularly. I figured there are others looking to do the same so I opened this up. Â Quote
Spike Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 It's CFI renewal time. Therefore, I'll be attending the FIRC with 3 additional days wandering the flo..... Quote
palmfish Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 I get in on Monday, will be at the job fair and cruising the floor Tuesday and Wednesday morning, then heading home on Thursday. Quote
FormerRaft Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 I'll be there...probably driving down unless I find someone to fly with. Quote
heligirl03 Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 Get in Sunday night, Wire class on Monday, floor Tues/Wed, leave early Thurs. Quote
C of G Posted January 19, 2014 Author Posted January 19, 2014 I'll be there. Flying in.What are you flying in and for whom? Quote
heligirl03 Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 I believe he's flying his personal B4. 1 Quote
rick1128 Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 GM, Not sure I will make it this year. I was laid off and am looking for another job. If I get one before HeliExpo, I will not be going. If I don't, I will drive over for the Job Fair and walk the floor a bit. If I am still in that boat, I may drive back for IHST meeting after. Enjoy the show. Quote
HeliNomad Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 What are you flying in and for whom? EC-130B4, for my non-incorporated, non-profitting, part 91, aviation company of 1, Me, My Self, and I. : ) If only someone paid me to fly.... 1 Quote
C of G Posted January 20, 2014 Author Posted January 20, 2014 Haha. You say that now. It being a job can take the fun out of it. Â Are you displaying it? Or where do you park? I flew in a display one (Agusta) a few years back. That's probably the best part is the fly in and fly out! Quote
wopilot Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 In like Flynn I'll be there Sunday night till Friday morning. Who's up for some Radiator Springs??? 1 Quote

I wouldn't be able to enjoy the show worrying constantly about someone's kid hanging off the towel rack or taking a souvenir knob from those expensive GTNs or G500H. I don't know how the tour pilots deal with the public getting in and out 40 times a day on those poor helicopters. I don't even let my own family operate the doors. No matter how many times you've flown with me, I'm buckling you in like a child and closing your door for you. : ) She will be tucked safely away at a nearby FBO. I'm flying down just for the experience and weather permitting will be filing IFR. Quote

It looks like I will be speaking on a mentoring panel for new pilots. It should be fun. Wow, IFR capable EC130! That is one hell of an upgrade. Sounds like I might get a chance to see her while it's parked at the FBO. Maybe I will see you around. Quote

(I'll stay away from the doors.)Â Hahahahahaha. No no I'm sorry if that was misleading. It's not an IFR B4...thats impossible to my knowledge. What I meant was if it's a clear day I can file IFR for training and be under the hood the entire way with an observer CFII along side. It's just a proficiency thing. As soon as ATC is about to stick you into a cloud you have to say unable, must maintain VFR (always interesting but they understand). Quote
500F Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 I'll be there for the UPAC among other things. Quote
aussiecop Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 I'll be there Monday night and leave Friday. I'm going to be shooting video for HAI and pics for whoever wants them. Quote
palmfish Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Is there a good VR watering hole where we can meet up Monday night? Maybe we could pick one in advance (locals know a good spot?)? Quote
aussiecop Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 McGavin.....Calling McGavin.... We need a watering hole within walking distance (or shuttle) where we can all meet up. As long as no one is camera shy, I'll be happy to take some snaps to post up of all of us together if it all works out. 1 Quote
McGavin Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 I would recommend ESPN Zone at Downtown Disney. It's a liitle touristy and not my normally first choice, but it's walking distance from the Convention Center and all shuttles lead to Disney. They have decent food and a very large bar area. Quote
