Southeast Regional Aerotow 2016

Rick,
It really depends on what you need or want. My 64 year-old bones ache sometimes getting up from a night of camping but nothing beats sitting around a campfire, talking, enjoying (responsibly) an adult beverage, an occasional night-flight with park flyers and just enjoying a starry night away from city lights. Mac's place makes the decision easy for me with the rest rooms, pavilion and hangars for inclimate weather. If things don't work out for you then a room at the Hampton in Americus is usually available. As of now I know of at least 6-7 who will be camping over the course.

I get nervous these days when an AMA guy "wants to see what we're all about", nice guy or not.

Really, thats nothing to worry about, I'm an AVP for District-V and he's published several of my aero tow event articles in the District News section of Model Aviation.

He's just another modeler looking to learn about a segment he doesn't know much about. If anyone has any ama related questions, he will answer them, if not, he will hang out and I'll put him up on the Cherokee to get him some stick time.

[RLake]

Len, is that a DG-800 on the bottom row?
