I hadn’t paid close attention to this show at all with all the announcements, but from everything I’ve heard people talk about this show, it’s convinced me to go. Cannot wait!!

Alright, you convinced me. A few of us made our plans last night. I am hoping Friday will be a good day for arrivals and maybe some cool departures on Monday?

Our Saturday suites just sold out but you're in luck, we have just a few left for Sunday's show! There won't be a better spot for your group to enjoy the airshow together. Once they're gone, we're sold out! Get em before they're gone!
