I'll have to stay off the Helo one of the days to catch their act

Dave,
I'll be at RI this year, if you need someone to cover for you in the helo I might be able to tear myself away from terra firma to give you a chance to shoot a different angle!

After seeing your work along with Ken's and Rich Kolasa's last year this show went on my must see list.

None that I notice

it would be great if we could get a photopit for this show

I tried, they do so much already for media and are so short staff they couldn't set aside space or people to watch it.

sounds great Dave

Okay, here’s my “tentative” plan.  My brothers wedding is the 28th (so Saturday is out), I’ll take the Boise-Seattle flight on Saturday at 8:15pm, then the 11:45 Seattle-Boston red eye arriving at 6:00am, get a rental and drive to Quonset arriving just before or shortly after the gates have opened………

By “tentative”, I mean, there’s a good chance I won’t be able to make it, but I’m sure going to try.

Now that is dedication to airshows.    
Would love to see you there Jake.
