Chopperjess Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 Hey hey guys! Anyone going to the red bull air races this saturday/sunday in San Diego? Quote
spw1177 Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 (edited) No, but I am going to the race in Detroit May 31/Jun 1. It is going to be awesome. -S Edited April 28, 2008 by spw1177 Quote
FlyNHighNFast Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 Hey hey guys! Anyone going to the red bull air races this saturday/sunday in San Diego? Well that just blows! I'm flying to LAX on the 5th. I could have flown in on the 3rd, driven down to SAN, and hit the races on the 4th. The fare change is too high now to justify billing it to my client Quote
Chopperjess Posted April 28, 2008 Author Posted April 28, 2008 Not possible to try and get a flight into the san diego area and then just drive to LAX? Quote
FlyNHighNFast Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 I already have my ticket for LAX. If I fly into SAN it would require re-booking the entire itinerary. Trust me... I looked at all possible options. I'll catch them in Detroit at the end of May. At least I'll be able to scope out TOA and the Robinson factory in advance of my training trip in August. Quote
Chopperjess Posted April 29, 2008 Author Posted April 29, 2008 How long you going to be here? I live in torrance, so might want to have lunch or a drink or something! Quote
FlyNHighNFast Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 I'm flying out on a red eye that leaves LAX at 12:35 Thursday morning. It would be nice to meet for a drink or two in the evening. My client is in Encino, so not enough time for lunch. If anyone else would like to jump on the bandwagon, we can set up a mini meet and greet. Quote
Surferbum Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 Any word on whether the helicopter will be putting on a demo? or is this strictly for the races... Quote
e36_m3_turbo Posted April 30, 2008 Posted April 30, 2008 I wanted to go but I forgot Bimmerfest is this weekend also. Bimmerfest is a big Bmw meet every year where thousands of people come together to show their cars off and also a long drive through the canynons and such, thats if anyone dosent know, Now you know. And its probably too late to buy tickets too. I dont know. Quote
Goldy Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 Any word on whether the helicopter will be putting on a demo? or is this strictly for the races... I never looked to see, usually it is there...however it will be at Vertical Challenge 2008, check it out here: http://www.hiller.org/vc-copters.shtml VC is a show you don't want to miss...

Chopperjess Posted May 1, 2008 Author Posted May 1, 2008 Are you coming to the air races goldy!?! I owe you a drink! Quote
Goldy Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 Are you coming to the air races goldy!?! I owe you a drink! I always take free drinks but I'm taking a wanna be helo pilot 17 year old up on his first trip in a helo on Saturday. Should be fun, I actually love it when its someone's first time in a ship. I took a 77 year old guy up a couple months ago for his birthday..he was a WWII pilot and had never been in a chopper....oops, I ramble. Nope, will not be going this time, but I am thinking of taking an R44 up to San Carlos in June...that would be a great CC. Goldy Quote
